Each year the Oglala Sioux Tribe Partnership for Housing helps low-income households on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation with resources to repair their homes from storm damage (common on the Great Plains of South Dakota) and normal wear and tear with assistance from Running Strong for American Indian Youth®.
“The primary need of many families is help with weatherization,” says OSTPH Executive Director Emma “Pinky” Clifford.
Recently, OSPTH was able to perform a major rehab of an elderly veteran’s home on the reservation including new windows and doors, caulking and insulation, and repairs to the home which had been damaged by high winds.
