Affordable Housing

Every year about 10% of The Club for Boys members are homeless; another 60% are at risk of being homeless. Families of members report on family assessments that affordable housing is one of their greatest needs. For this reason, the Club has entered into a partnership with Lloyd Companies of Sioux Falls, to build affordable housing in Rapid City. The Club’s first project was Heartland Heights followed by Blackstone Flats.

Club members’ families who are interested in the affordable housing should go to the Individual and Family Services page and complete the Request Family Services Assistance form.

The Club for Boys will continue to partner with Lloyd’s on additional affordable projects in the Rapid City area.

How the Project Came to Be:

Heartland Heights was developed as a way of addressing the need for affordable Rapid City housing. The Rapid City Housing Market Study of July 2022 (published by the RC Strategic Housing Coalition) estimated that a total of 2,500 new rental units will be needed over the next 10 years for those with incomes below the AMI; 458 new rental units will be needed for those with 31-50% AMI. The housing is equal opportunity and open to all in the community.

The Club is the first non-profit in western South Dakota to enter an affordable housing project of this type. This experience should encourage and make it easier for other non-profits to go forward with such projects. Ultimately, our families and our community will be stronger for the effort.

Heartland Heights I & II

Heartland Heights consists of two buildings, located at 427 DeGeest Drive, that offer 82 affordable rental housing units to Rapid City, with a total capacity of 370 residents. Eligibility is open to local families with incomes at 30-60% of AMI, ($19,714-$39,427 annual income). Heartland Heights is located near Valley View Elementary and East Middle School. Club members are bused to the Club each day from these two schools.

Blackstone Flats

Blackstone Flats was finished in the summer of 2025, located at 846 N. Valley Drive, Rapid City, SD 57703.
