Paint ~ South Dakota Program for Private Residences
Campaign Requirements
1. The Nominee must own and currently live in the home to be painted. It cannot be a business, rental house, contain rental units or property used for other purposes besides a primary residence.
2. The Nominee must need their home repainted and would otherwise not be able to paint the house on their own due to financial or physical difficulty.
How does the Campaign work?
The volunteer group nominates the home of someone in the community. Paint and primer are purchased by the volunteer organization or can be billed directly to SDHDA. When the work is completed, receipts or invoices, photos of the finished project and the signed Lead Based Paint waivers must be returned to the SDHDA office. The paint and primer cost is then reimbursed to the organization or paid directly to the merchant.
What does the Campaign pay for?
The Paint-South Dakota Campaign will pay for paint and primer only. The volunteer group is responsible for supplies such as caulk, scrapers, ladders, brushes, buckets, etc.
Many groups discuss their plan and the Program with individuals and businesses within their community. Many other individuals, groups or businesses are willing to donate or contribute in other ways to the painting project. In addition to supplies being furnished, you may ask local donators for food, beverages, and t-shirts as they are all useful during the project.

Harry, We’ve used this program in Armour several times and it is wonderful. It helps clean up a property in your community and it is a tremendous boost for the homeowners. The state makes it very easy to apply and implement the grant. I can’t recommend it enough. Susan

Paint - South Dakota is a great program. The Letcher Community Club has used the program to paint three houses in Letcher. It really is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
