Nonprofit TDC Leads Housing Development in Rural South Dakota
What happened
The Tripp Development Corp. (TDC), an all-volunteer nonprofit, has reenergized its efforts to address community needs in the rural town of Tripp, South Dakota. TDC's mission is to find land or new housing opportunities to build, aiming to develop one new house each year. This effort follows a period where the town saw a 34% population decline since 1970 and experienced the closure of local businesses and the nursing home.
