LB 840 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide requirements for multifamily housing projects under the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act

Nebraska's LB 840 amends the Affordable Housing Act to require new multifamily housing projects seeking state funding through the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to include accessible units. Specifically, projects must include at least 20% of units accessible for people with mobility disabilities and 10% accessible for people with hearing or vision disabilities. This applies to all projects with five or more dwelling units that receive state assistance under the Act. The requirements take effect upon the bill's passage and replace the previous accessibility standards.
