Recipients Named of DED Disaster Recovery Housing Funds; Nebr. City and Peru Included

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) has announced the recipients of $3 million in funding under a special disaster recoveryallocation of the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund  (NAHTF).

In response to the March floods, Governor Pete Ricketts directed State departments to strategize for the deployment of resources and programs to assist affected areas. DED identified housing as a main priority area for the state’s economic and physical recovery.

“In the aftermath of the floods, State agencies have been searching for ways to provide additional assistance to impacted communities,” said Gov. Ricketts. “These announced recovery funds, which are made possible by the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, will go a long way to support local rebuilding efforts. I want to thank DED for identifying funding to reallocate for disaster relief. I deeply appreciate the work of all of our State agencies as they continue to go the extra mile to serve their fellow Nebraskans.”
