Programs and agencies in Omaha and Douglas County Nebraska focus on offering rental and housing assistance. Individuals who are faced with an emergency, that lost their job, or who may be classified as unemployed may be able to qualify for grants or cash assistance to help pay rent, security deposit, or other housing needs or expenses.
Below are listed many of the Omaha area charities, non-profit organizations, and housing agencies that can facilitate rent help to those in need. Many of the locations have income restrictions, and can only provide very limited amounts of financial assistance. However if you need help, and are running out of options, the more places you call the better. A number of services and resources are administered for people who need assistance. Referrals and information on federal government and state of Nebraska rent assistance and low income housing options may be available too.
