Chapter 68 of the Nebraska Statutes requires counties to provide for the poor of the county who are not eligible for any other governmental assistance and do not have a parent, stepparent, or spouse responsible for their support. These statutory requirements are the basis for the programs administered by the Department of General Assistance, which are considered to be "programs of last resort."

5 Reviews of Douglas County General Assistance
My boyfriend has been laid off due to social distancing requirement in the food industry. Our rent is behind for our lot at our mobile home community and are in desperate need for assistance in making this payment.
I am looking for help with utilities. I am working was laid off due to no work. I’ve applied through DHHS and get SNAP but because I am working now I don’t qualify for help even though I applied in September when I was not working. I just got denied at the beginning of this money. My electric is going to get shut off they will not extend any longer I don’t know what to do.
I need to find out if I qualify for rental assistance
I need help to pay a balance that Dhhs will not help with. Is Douglas County still helping with rental Assistance
I need help paying my rent, I have a son, I have health issues and I have a 7 day notice.
