Letter to the editor…


Dear Editor,

Housing is an important issue to South Dakotans of all ages and in all corners of our state. However, much housing research is conducted at the national level, but because South Dakota is much more rural than many other states in the country this research does not always accurately reflect housing in South Dakota.

To better understand and meet the needs of South Dakotans, I am conducting a survey that we hope will expand our understanding of housing in South Dakota.

Our survey is open to anyone from any state, though as a thank you residents of South and North Dakota will be put in a drawing for a gift card.

The survey can be completed at https://housing-survey.questionpro.com or if someone would rather have a paper copy of the survey, they can reach out to Bethany Stoutamire at Bethany.stoutamire@sdstate.eduor at (605) 782-3290.

We would be grateful if you or any of your readers would help us gather information that reflects the lives of South Dakotans. Thank you for helping us spread the word about our project.

Gratefully,
Leacey E. Brown, MS
