Housing Authority of Lincoln

"Great people all the way around , and on an individual basis. I've raised my 2 girls within and have never had any problems at all , thanks everyone."

"There is something off with this HUD housing program. They don't help people with disabilities move from one location to the next which sounds like a unofficial establishment."

"As a young 20 something I definitely have a lot to say about working here. It’s a lot of things that’s for sure, and I absolutely love it. I love working here! Coming from previous work environments that fed on workplace drama, this place is very cut and dry in a positive way. Between our Director Kathy and our Programs Manager Robyn Cole, there is a very sturdy set of managers that help keep this train on its tracks. I’m always given answers to my questions, and as an old friend of mine used to say “It takes a passionate group of people to maintain a well-oiled machine.” And he was so right. This place has only gotten so far with the brilliant minds of our current management, our board and the members of our community. I am a very opinionated young lady and I know that managing any number of staff can be stressful at times, and the members of our team here definitely handle all situations with the expected amount of grace and a level of patience I only hope to achieve. If ever looking to work here, be ready to learn and also be prepared for the no nonsense environment. Anyone that can put their best foot forward to learn their position as they go would definitely be able to find their place here. ❤️"

"I put in a transfer of my section 8 from Reno Nevada to Newport Oregon and was very surprised at how fast they put everything through. I had my new section 8 voucher from Newport in my hands within two weeks after I put in for the transfer. Very pleased with Lincoln county housing authority. Thank you so much."

"What a crock. I signed on 4 years ago and was told that there would be a 2-3 year wait list, I told the woman I talked to, Kelsie that I was homeless and needed at the time a place to live and she was super friendly, I would call once in a while and she would tell me that I was getting closer and then last year I got a letter that said I was close to the top! I called Kelsie and she told me that I should start packing (basically, and she looked forward to meeting me) So I did and I waited...and waited...and waited....I called today and a woman named Marilyn answered and told me that I had been pushed back because people who live in Newport are given top priority, If you apply and live say in Eugene, you are pushed backwards each time someone in Newport applies so if you are #1 and someone in Newport is #47, they get your apt! I could be on the wait list for years and years according to her, then she says that I should move to Newport and then I would make the list, hon, If I could afford to move to Newport, why would I have applied to housing? It just so happens that I have come into some financial means now and I dont NEED this apt, I was only calling to see what had happened to my apt and this is what I was told--Be aware that if you dont already live there, you are screwed! She claims its the same way anywhere but its not. I applied for an apt in Lincoln city at the same time and was called within a year, the only reason I turned it down was because the only unit was upstairs and at the time I had been in an accident and was in a wheelchair and could not get up stairs. I might reapply for that but really as I said, I dont need it...looking to buy my own place now but seriously, when you are told 2-3 years, plan on 20-30."
