SDCL § 11-7-62: Preference in rental to persons displaced by commission operations.

Except as otherwise required pursuant to federal law, in contracts for federal financial assistance, if the number of qualified applicants for dwelling accommodations exceed the dwelling units available, preference shall be given to inhabitants of the area of operation of the commission in which the project is located, and to the families who occupied the dwellings eliminated by demolition, condemnation, and effective closing as part of the project, as far as is reasonably practicable without discrimination against families living in other substandard areas within the same area of operation.
