Neb. Rev. Stat. § 58-701 et seq. § 58-713
Department of Economic Development; contract with agent.
Operative Text
(1) The Department of Economic Development may contract with a statewide public or private nonprofit organization or a state instrumentality which shall serve as agent for the department to help carry out the purposes and requirements of the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act. (2) If the department utilizes an agent pursuant to this section, then any reference to the department in relationship to duties under the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act shall include such agent to the extent that the agreement between the department and the agent so specifies.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 58-701 et seq. § 58-713, Nebraska's Department of Economic Development is authorized to delegate certain responsibilities under the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act to a qualifying statewide nonprofit organization or state instrumentality acting as its agent. When such an arrangement is in place, references to the department in the Act extend to that agent, but only to the degree spelled out in the formal agreement between the two parties. This provision essentially allows the department to share or transfer its administrative functions without fully relinquishing its statutory role.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in programs under the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act should be aware that, pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 58-701 et seq. § 58-713, the entity they interact with for compliance purposes may be a designated agent rather than the Department of Economic Development itself. Compliant operators typically confirm which entity—department or agent—holds authority over specific duties before submitting applications, reports, or other required documentation. Reviewing the scope of any agency agreement can clarify which organization's instructions and deadlines govern a particular program requirement.

Tenants seeking assistance or information under the Nebraska Affordable Housing Act should know that, under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 58-701 et seq. § 58-713, a statewide nonprofit or state instrumentality may be acting on behalf of the Department of Economic Development. This means that inquiries, complaints, or requests for program information might be directed to that designated agent rather than to the department directly. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid offices can help identify the correct point of contact and explain what rights and remedies are available under the Act.
