St. Joseph Catholic Housing

St. Joseph Catholic Housing’s mission in east river South Dakota is to assist in both providing for the material housing needs and in building community, so all may realize their dignity as children of God.

Our work at St. Joseph Catholic Housing will be guided by the following principles:

• to provide safe and affordable housing and
  appropriate support services for families and children
• to meet the special housing and care needs of
  our elderly community;
• to foster communities, not projects;
  homes not housing.

“The Church, ‘sharing the joy and hope, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially those who are poor or affected in any way,’ feels it has a serious obligation… to find concrete and urgent solutions to the housing problem… A house is much more than a roof over one’s head. It is a place where a person creates and lives out his or her life.”

– Pope John Paul II
