State & City Resources
Lincoln, Nebraska: Disability Resources
On This Page
Lincoln has separate local contacts for aging support, housing applications, and transportation. Start with Aging Partners when the right support service is unclear; use the housing authority for rental-program applications and the city’s transportation guide to compare ride options.
Aging Partners
Lincoln Aging Partners coordinates services for older people across an eight-county area. Its contact route covers information and referrals, case management, home-delivered meals, and other supports. Describe your living situation and the assistance you need, then ask whether the service is available in your county and what eligibility or assessment steps apply.
Lincoln Housing Authority Application Guide
Lincoln Housing Authority Application Guide uses the same application for its Housing Choice Voucher program and properties. Include all household members accurately. The page links to online and paper applications. Ask which programs or lists your application will cover and what to do if contact information changes while you are waiting.
Compare Local Transportation Options
Lincoln General and Medical Transportation Guide lists several distinct services, including StarTran’s Paratransit/Handi-Van. The Handi-Van entry describes wheelchair-accessible, door-to-door trips within Lincoln city limits and requires an application. Other entries cover different rider groups or trip purposes. Confirm current operating details and eligibility with the selected provider rather than treating the directory as one combined service.
Before You Contact a Program
- Identify your county and the kind of aging support needed.
- Keep the housing application and household details consistent.
- Ask whether a ride option covers your address, destination, and assistance needs.
Federal Benefits and Next Steps
Apply for SSDI[1] or SSI[2] through the Social Security Administration. Local resource programs have separate applications and do not decide federal disability benefits.
