West Central Nebraska Development District, Inc. (WCNDD) is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $1 million grant through the 2022 round of Nebraska’s Rural Workforce Housing Fund (RWHF). This significant funding will play a pivotal role in addressing the pressing need for quality, affordable housing in the region and accommodating its growing workforce.
The RWHF, established to support the creation of affordable housing options, aims to meet the housing demands resulting from economic growth in rural areas. The allocation of $1 million to the WCNDD project area, with a primary focus on Imperial, Nebraska, is a significant step towards bridging the housing gap.
“We are honored to have received this grant from Nebraska’s Rural Workforce Housing Fund,” said Amber Kuskie, WCNDD executive director. “WCNDD is grateful to the City of Imperial for recognizing the critical housing needs of the community and providing matching funds. This award will enable us to help address the housing needs in Imperial, providing quality, affordable homes for the workforce.”
WCNDD remains committed to working closely with local stakeholders, government entities, and community members in the region to provide local economic development solutions.
