SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — One positive outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic is that more Native Americans living on South Dakota Indian reservations have begun the process to purchase a home, though long-standing barriers remain on reservations to achieving the financial security and family stability that homeownership can provide.
Native Americans in South Dakota are far behind non-Natives in the rate of homeownership and also behind Natives in other states. Many of the hurdles to homeownership on reservations remain, but steps are being taken to speed up the process and provide more opportunities on reservations.
