What HUD's PIH Record for South Dakota Tells You

South Dakota sits mid-pack in HUD's PIH directory: #31 of 51 states and DC by PHA headcount, with 35 records (1% of the 3,780 U.S. total) reporting 7,404 authorized Section 8 / HCV units combined. Across all HUD programs (public housing, HCV, and related subsidy streams) those same records report 1,535 total units. 16 of these records (46%) report zero authorized HCV units; that source field does not establish an active voucher program, a waitlist, or an application route.

Payment standards inside SD metros are set at 90–110% of HUD FY2026 Fair Market Rent, cross-referenced in our payment standards directory, so voucher value is metro-specific even within the same state. A city, county, regional, or statewide authority may share the state; the directory does not determine service-area eligibility, waitlist status, or whether an agency is accepting applications, use the source contact details to verify a specific agency's current programs. See the waitlist guide for general federal-program context and the portability guide for federal move rules.

PHAs in South Dakota

Sorted by reported authorized HCV units, highest first. Many regions carry multiple PHA records (a city PHA, a county PHA, and sometimes a regional authority) - check the source contact details before relying on any single record for a current program, service area, or waitlist.
