In Omaha it's important that everyone have a place to stay, partially because of the cold weather that's so often seen in the winter. There are a lot of people who are working steady, full-time jobs every day but they don't have a lot of money and they don't really have good prospects for more money right now. They need to have a cheap place to stay, but it has to be clean and decent, and most of the apartments that they find are too expensive. Luckily for them there are some options, and one of them is low income apartments.
These apartments are subsidized, so the people who live there pay a portion of their rent and the government pays the rest. That way they have a place where they can live and get on their feet, and they are only required to pay around thirty percent of their income for rent. Of course, they can't live in expensive apartments when they don't make much money and just expect the government to pay the difference, and they can't stay in a low income apartment if they make too much money or don't meet other requirements regarding their family size and other issues.
Many people in Omaha will qualify for low income apartments, though, and when they move into one there is usually a specified length of time that they are allowed to stay. It's not meant to be a permanent housing option. Instead, it's meant to be a short term opportunity so that these people can get schooling, get a better job, and learn to make smart financial decisions.
They also work toward qualifying for a mortgage so that they can purchase their own home when they move out of the low income apartments. It gives more people the opportunity to move into these apartments and get a fresh start for themselves, which not only helps them but also helps the community that they belong to and the entire city of Omaha. People who live in low income apartments and get back on their feet show others that it can be done and also show themselves that they can accomplish their goals. That helps future generations to do the same.
