Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund Supports Home Ownership, Community Growth across the State
1 Apr 2025
Sticker shock. Anyone shopping for eggs lately has experienced it. Sticker shock has also become commonplace among would-be homebuyers. Inflation of construction material costs, ballooning homeowners insurance premiums, and rising mortgage rates have all contributed to homes being much more expensive now than they were just five years ago.
As costs climb, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) is helping communities make home ownership more affordable.

Each year, DED makes NAHTF awards to agencies across Nebraska to assist with housing development and ease the burdens of homebuying.
