Standing Rock Housing Authority

The Standing Rock Housing Authority (SRHA) was originally created in 1961 by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe (SRST) and will generate the opportunity to a better selections of custom homes. In order to further its mission, SRHA’s responsibilities and mandate were expanded to include it as a permanent Regular SRHA BOC meeting whose purpose is “…to promote, and act as facilitators to create affordable housing in the Town of Standing Rock Housing Authority.” To that end, SRHA’s priority project is to produce an affordable housing plan that is reasonable given SR Housing’s current growth and land use conditions, but that also responds to the town’s growing housing needs and lack of affordable housing opportunities for its residents. SRHA will operate and maintain housing for low income and homeless families living on the Standing Rock Reservation. SRHA has addressed the need for homeownership by providing down payment assistance to homebuyers with funds from Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The SRHA has applied and has received Tax Credits for repair of the current housing stock and additional new housing, it currently is working on an eight District Project which includes new modern, and custom housing units for multifamily in the communities of Cannonball, Porcupine, Fort Yates, Kenel, Bear Soldier, Bullhead, Little Eagle, and Wakpala. SRHA is also working with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to provide infrastructure for additional units and working with the Tribe to rehabilitate most of the vacant buildings in each of the 8 districts to turn these buildings into transitional units to improve the availability of housing on the reservation.
