The State of Nebraska receives funds as a PJ and the Department of Economic Development administers the program for the State.

HOME CHDO funds will be used to support community-based projects where the CHDO owns, sponsors and develops the affordable housing units. HOME CHDO funds are available to support housing new construction activities while also providing homebuyer assistance and organizational operating assistance.
