Paint – South Dakota campaign seeks volunteers

“Paint – South Dakota” is underway and South Dakota Housing Development Authority is seeking volunteer painters and nominations for houses to be painted. 

To get involved, an individual or group of people nominate someone in their community whose home is in need of a fresh coat of exterior paint and then pick a Saturday in June to pick up paint brushes and give of their time to help their neighbor.

The nominated home must be a single family, owner-occupied residence whose owner is physically or financially unable to paint their home themselves. 

Since starting the program in 1998, nearly 550 homes across South Dakota have been painted, resulting in more than 10,655 gallons of paint and primer being applied by 7,884 local volunteers. 

Applications are due to SDHDA by 5 p.m. CT, April 22. To learn more, visit www.sdhda.org. or call (605) 773-7603.
