The South Dakota Housing Opportunity Fund (HOF) is a grant program designed to foster economic development in South Dakota by increasing the availability of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for families and individuals. This aligns with a foundational mission to support community well-being and economic stability through essential housing solutions. The HOF is administered by South Dakota Housing and the SD Housing Board of Commissioners, ensuring a strategic approach to addressing housing needs across the state. The target beneficiaries of the HOF include low to moderate-income households, with a maximum income at or below 115% of the county or state area median income (AMI), whichever is higher, as determined by HUD criteria. The impact goals are broad, aiming to expand housing options, prevent homelessness, and improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities. This comprehensive approach seeks to create a more equitable and supportive housing landscape for vulnerable populations. The HOF prioritizes various activities to achieve its goals. These include new construction or the purchase and rehabilitation of rental or homeownership housing, housing preservation (such as home repair grants and grants for accessibility modifications), homelessness prevention activities, and support for community land trusts. For development projects, there are application limits of $350,000 for rural development and $150,000 for urban development, ensuring a focused allocation of funds. Eligible projects encompass new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of rental housing, as well as the purchase and rehabilitation of homeownership housing, substantial or moderate rehabilitation, housing preservation, and rehabilitating homes for individuals with disabilities. The expected outcomes include an increased supply of affordable housing units, improved housing conditions, and reduced instances of homelessness. Measurable results would involve tracking the number of housing units created or preserved, the number of households served, and the number of homes made accessible. The underlying theory of change is that by investing in diverse housing solutions and supporting eligible entities, the HOF can directly address the housing crisis, stimulate economic growth, and enhance the quality of life for South Dakota residents.

The City of Wichita's Operating Grants program aims to provide essential operational support for qualifying 501(c)(3) non-profit arts and cultural organizations that significantly serve the citizens of Wichita. This initiative aligns with the city's long-standing mission to recognize, preserve, and celebrate Wichita’s rich arts and cultural heritage, acknowledging its profound impact on residents' quality of life. The funding is intended to bolster the infrastructure and day-to-day functions of these vital organizations, ensuring the continued accessibility and vibrancy of cultural experiences within the community. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are non-profit arts and cultural organizations operating within the City of Wichita. The overarching impact goal is to sustain and enhance the city's cultural landscape, thereby enriching the lives of Wichita citizens through diverse artistic and cultural programming. By supporting these organizations, the city aims to foster a dynamic cultural environment that contributes to community well-being and civic pride. The program prioritizes organizations that have as their primary purpose the production, presentation, advancement, or preservation of arts or culture in Wichita, serving its residents for a minimum of two years. Key focuses include organizations with full-time professional management or cultural/artistic staff, those presenting a full season of programming, and those demonstrating ADA compliance and adherence to equal opportunity employment requirements. The grant specifically funds operational expenses such as salaries, office rent, utilities, and general website upkeep, recognizing that stable operations are fundamental to consistent program delivery. Expected outcomes include the sustained operation and growth of Wichita's arts and cultural organizations, leading to a broader array of cultural offerings for residents. Measurable results could include the number of performances or exhibitions presented, the number of citizens served, and the overall financial stability of recipient organizations. The city's strategic priority is to invest in its cultural assets to maintain a high quality of life and a strong community identity, with the theory of change positing that direct operational funding empowers cultural organizations to deliver their services more effectively, leading to a more culturally enriched and engaged populace. Funding limitations are based on an organization's actual expenses in its most recently completed fiscal year, categorizing them as "Small" (less than $250,000 in expenses, eligible for up to 15% of expenses), "Medium" (between $250,000 and $499,999 in expenses, eligible for up to 10% of expenses), or "Large" ($500,000 or more in expenses, eligible for up to 8% of expenses or $75,000, whichever is less). Organizations can submit only one application per cycle. This tiered approach ensures that funding is distributed equitably and proportionally to the operational scale of each applicant, maximizing the program's reach and impact across the diverse cultural ecosystem of Wichita.

The Minnesota Housing, in collaboration with Greater Minnesota Housing Fund (GMHF), is launching the Single Family RFP through its Community Homeownership Impact Fund. This initiative is designed to expand and preserve affordable homeownership opportunities across all counties in Minnesota. The program’s mission aligns closely with the foundation’s broader vision: ensuring that every Minnesotan has access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing. By focusing on single-family, owner-occupied homes, this funding opportunity aims to address both supply and quality gaps, particularly in underserved and economically marginalized communities. Through multiple financing mechanisms—grants, deferred loans, housing infrastructure bonds, and interim loans—the program seeks to foster community stability, economic inclusion, and equitable pathways to homeownership. The program’s primary beneficiaries are low- to moderate-income households, with a targeted emphasis on households of color, immigrant households, and those including people with disabilities. This focus reflects GMHF’s commitment to applying a racial and economic equity lens to homeownership initiatives, aiming to reduce historic disparities in property ownership and wealth accumulation. Targeted investments will support both the creation of new affordable housing units and the rehabilitation of existing homes, ensuring that communities not only gain new housing stock but also preserve their existing neighborhoods. Special priority will be given to applicants leveraging cross-sector collaborations—particularly in health and housing—to improve overall community well-being. Strategically, the program prioritizes projects that deliver tangible, lasting impact. Priority activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale of existing properties; new construction of single-family homes; and stand-alone affordability gap assistance. Additional emphasis is placed on projects that advance Tribal housing initiatives, ensuring that Tribal Nations and communities have equitable access to homeownership opportunities. By offering flexible funding types—including forgivable loans and deferred downpayment assistance—the program allows local governments, nonprofits, Tribal entities, and developers to structure their projects to meet community-specific needs and financial realities. Expected outcomes are centered on measurable, high-impact results. Awarded projects must lead to the creation or preservation of affordable, owner-occupied homes with no more than four units, ensuring at least one unit is owner-occupied. The program anticipates that these efforts will expand the affordable housing inventory, increase homeownership rates among underrepresented populations, and stabilize neighborhoods. Success metrics will include the number of homes developed or rehabilitated, the number of households served, demographic diversity among beneficiaries, and the degree to which affordability thresholds are met and maintained. Additionally, the program seeks to generate long-term community benefits such as improved health outcomes, greater neighborhood investment, and increased intergenerational wealth. The foundation’s strategic priorities and theory of change rest on the belief that stable, affordable homeownership is a critical lever for advancing economic mobility and community resilience. By combining capital investment with equitable housing strategies, the program aims to dismantle systemic barriers to homeownership and create conditions for sustained prosperity. Through partnerships with municipalities, Tribal governments, nonprofits, and developers, Minnesota Housing and GMHF are fostering a collaborative ecosystem that ensures funding leads to meaningful, measurable, and community-driven change. This initiative is not merely about building houses—it’s about empowering people, strengthening communities, and reshaping the housing landscape in Minnesota for a more inclusive future.
