Nebraska Strategic Housing Council's Toolkit to Increase Housing Supply
Amy Haase and Joe Spitsen provided a great look at the Nebraska Housing Toolkit completed in 2022 by the Strategic Housing Council. The toolkit offers communities of all sizes comprehensive guidance, instructions, practical steps, and case studies to assist and develop their own housing development short and long-term plans.
The Custer Economic Development Corporation highlighted housing initiatives since 2014, noting the construction of more than 80 homes and 61 apartment units since 2013. Scotti Ross and Stuart Fox emphasized that many of these projects were made possible through Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
The November HomeNE webinar focused on rural housing initiatives in Nebraska, with a presentation from John Madsen and Jon Schmaderer highlighting successful housing development strategies in Stuart. They discussed partnerships, funding approaches, and the role of local organizations in promoting affordable housing.
