Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Nebraska

Nebraska has 105 housing authorities managing a combined 367 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 187 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 51%. This data was last verified on Oct 15, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 21,520 assisted housing units statewide — 6,884 public housing units and 14,636 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 65 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Nebraska.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Nebraska include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (40 open), Public Housing (84 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (6 open), Mainstream, RAD (1 open). Each program has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and wait times. In most cases, applicants can apply to multiple program types at the same housing authority, and there is no limit to the number of housing authorities you can apply to statewide.

The cities with the most open waitlists in Nebraska right now are Omaha (16), Norfolk (13), Fremont (9), Greeley (5), and Bridgeport (4) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.
