SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO)

It’s a three and a half-million dollar fundraising drive aimed at emergency housing for families.

The Bishop Dudley Hospitality House already houses up to 100 individuals in its downtown Sioux Falls center.

Now, through a partnership with Interlakes Community Action, it will be able to shelter up to ten families per night.

Bishop Dudly Executive Director Madiliene Shields says that’s made possible by the Interlakes’ purchase of the former Children’s Inn center west of downtown…

Shields says the Bishop Dudley House has already raised about half of the 3 1/2-million dollars needed for repairs, remodeling and programming at the new center.
