The biggest barrier to increasing the population of Sisseton is affordable housing. Local demand for resale houses has outstripped supply, driving up housing prices. It hasn’t helped that supply disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic caused new construction costs to soar. However, state housing programs provide options.

Potential lower-income purchasers can apply for a Governor’s House, and the South Dakota Housing Development Authority has added another option to encourage rural development: the DakotaPlex program, which is available to non-profit organizations, community developers, and for-profit developers.
