Transitional and low income housing programs in Nebraska.
Residents in Nebraska that are facing eviction or homelessness have several transitional housing programs available to them. The resources can provide free homeless shelter, temporary housing, vouchers for motel rooms and other case management type services, such as job search assistance. Thousands of struggling families and individuals across the state receive help from them every year. Others receive referrals to emergency shelters or public aid.
When possible, the non-profits that administer these services will try to prevent homelessness in the first place. So they may offer emergency rental assistance or referrals to local resources. However that is not common due to limited funding. So the Nebraska programs and the organizations will focus on working with clients to help them regain self-sufficiency and to get placed into a new home or apartment.
Some of the leading transitional housing and low income programs in Nebraska are listed below. If a center is not near you, they are very effective at providing referrals to other offices and/or government programs, including subsidized apartments and homes.
Blue Valley Community Action Partnership
There are several of these offices in the state and they administer transitional housing and homeless services. Project Focus is when staff work one-on-one with individuals and families. They provide case management and refer people to local resources and non-profits, including loan programs for a security deposit. Low income housing may be offered for families and children for up to 2 years as part of Project First. Other resources include government subsidized apartments, home repairs, clothing, shelters, and help in finding permanent housing.
