The Nebraska Emergency Rental Assistance (Nebraska ERA) program was authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to assist eligible renter households with rent, utility payments, and housing stability services. If you rent your primary home in Nebraska (outside of Douglas and Lancaster counties), meet the income requirements, and were financially impacted during or as a direct or indirect result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible to receive assistance.
If you are a renter, you may initiate your application and identify your landlord, who will then need to complete their portion of the application. If you are a landlord with a tenant who has applied for assistance, you may login to complete your section of the application. If you are a landlord that has initiated an application, your renter(s) will still need to create an account and complete their application.
The Nebraska ERA program provides assistance to renter households in rural/non metro Nebraska communities outside of Lancaster and Douglas Counties. If you need assistance in Lancaster or Douglas counties, including the cities of Lincoln and Omaha please click on the following links to access those programs.
