About Us

Mission Statement

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.

Description of What We Do

It is our goal to provide residents affordable housing and help them become self-sufficient with economic independence. We do this by providing low rent and programs that help people to learn how to care for their housing. Plus we provide seniors with low rent housing and housing that is set toward persons with special needs.

Funding

The Housing Authority receives operational funding for its traditional housing programs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Home Loan Bank, Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Nebraska Investment Finance Authority, U.S.D.A. and from the rents it collects each month.

Time Established

The Scotts Bluff Housing Authority was established in 1965; it has since grown and continues to develop with the idea that most people need help at some point in time. We are now known as Housing Partners of Western Nebraska.
