Nebraska Fair Housing Strategy
The State of Nebraska, in compliance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Consolidated Plan Final Rule (24 CFR Part 91, et al) is required to develop a fair housing plan for the non-entitlement parts of the state; the Consolidated Plan also requires that this plan be reviewed under the citizen participation process. The purpose of the plan is to foster a careful examination on a statewide basis those factors which restrict or preclude fair housing choice.
HUD’s definition of “fair housing choice” means the ability of persons, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin, of similar income to have available to them the same housing choices.
