Public Housing
Family & Elderly Housing
Our aim is to ensure safe, decent, and affordable housing, create opportunities for residents' self-sufficiency and economic independence; and assure fiscal integrity by all program participants.
Public Housing Program provides rental assistance to low and moderate-income families and individuals. The Housing Authority owns, manages and maintains all rental units offered under this program, which are located in neighborhoods throughout the County of Scotts Bluff such as Gering, Morrill, Minatare and Scottsbluff. We also manage the Housing Authorities in Chappell, Hay Springs, Sidney and Gordon.
Families must first apply for the assistance. When the family meets the eligibility requirements for assistance, they are than placed on a waiting list, during the waiting period, Housing Partners of Western Nebraska verifies their income, checks their criminal history and land lord references. Once a families name reaches the top of the waiting list, Housing Partners of Western Nebraska contacts the family by phone or mail.
