SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) It’s staggering. Over 1100 school-age children in Sioux Falls experience homelessness during the school year. Sioux Falls Thrive’s Housing Action Team, or HAT, is charged with cutting that number in half. Since its inception, HAT has promoted a series of innovations that have expanded housing opportunities and improved access to housing information.
Members of the 15-person team represent all sectors of the community and include volunteer leaders, property owners, and representatives from government, nonprofit, and faith-based entities. One-third of the team turns over every two years, said Candy Hanson, Thrive’s Community Collaboration Director.
