OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — On Monday, the Douglas County Health and Human Services Committee met to review guidelines for the general assistance it provides the community.
Officials say they’re making a few changes to make the assistance programs more user-friendly.
“Typically, the changes in our guidelines have been pretty small and it has evolved around increase in rent and that’s typically the feedback we get. I haven’t received any feedback yet this year,” said a member.
The Resources offered include rent and mortgage assistance, vouchers for food and clothing and transportation service.
A time for the public to comment on the proposed guidelines changes will happen during a Douglas County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 23.
The board must review the guidelines on a biennial basis.
