St. Francis House has launched a campaign for its planned Healing Home Campus in Sioux Falls, seeking $1.5 million through the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce’s Community Appeals Campaign, according to a Chamber announcement published Nov. 3, 2026.
The campaign is part of a $10 million capital campaign, and the project is planned to add 38 one-bedroom transitional efficiency units, the Chamber said. The campus would also provide dedicated space for community partners offering behavioral health services, substance use recovery, health care, employment assistance, education, financial counseling and cultural support services, according to the announcement.
St. Francis House operates 168 beds, served 757 guests in 2025 and had served 482 guests during the first six months of 2026, the Chamber said. The announcement reports that 96% of guests are employed and that 95% of those who complete at least 60 days of structured programming secure permanent housing.
A pilot program found that 88% of guests who moved from the main building into transitional housing later secured permanent housing in the community, according to the Chamber. The announcement also said 244 individuals were on the Department of Corrections housing waitlist.
