COLUMBUS NE CHA HOUSING AND RENTAL DIRECTORY — Columbus NE (not Columbus GA): 14 rows from the Chamber's April 2026 income-based landlord list https://thecolumbuspage.com/wp-content/uploads/Landlords-with-Income-Based-Rent-updated-04-2026.pdf, linked from the local resource page https://thecolumbuspage.com/resources/housing-rentals-3, plus North Creek as a dated February 2023 authority-image lead still named on the June 2026 general landlord list. Eight single-address community records have source-listed street addresses; seven are unpinned because they have an office-only address, multiple buildings, a cross street, an unclear organization contact, a multi-cluster campus, or historical address drift. The source page https://www.columbusha.com/housing has an obsolete “print list” URL returning 404; its displayed February 2023 image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b6605bce176b930af6f32/605d6577-aa3f-4343-9dd1-58971634af61/income+list.jpg omitted Briarwood II but included North Creek, which the newer income list no longer includes. Crown Villa is expressly NOT income-based; do not infer the reverse from its section heading. The CHA housing page https://www.columbusha.com/housing displays a February 2023 income-based landlord list as an image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b6605bce176b930af6f32/605d6577-aa3f-4343-9dd1-58971634af61/income+list.jpg, while its “print list” points to a Chamber PDF that now returns 404. The same local Chamber's https://thecolumbuspage.com/resources/housing-rentals-3 currently links a replacement dated April 2026 https://thecolumbuspage.com/wp-content/uploads/Landlords-with-Income-Based-Rent-updated-04-2026.pdf with 14 rows. The later https://thecolumbuspage.com/wp-content/uploads/Landlord-List-updated-6.30.26.pdf confirms Northcreek still appears as a landlord contact, but does not confirm its old address or income-based status. These are directory claims, not proof that CHA owns, manages, endorses, currently funds, or has screened every private listing. CHA's https://www.columbusha.com/ and https://www.columbusha.com/section-8-voucher-program say BOTH Heritage House and voucher waiting lists closed September 21, 2026 at 4 p.m. until further notice, even though the voucher page still includes older “how to apply” instructions. CHA provides no emergency or deposit assistance; voucher owners screen tenants using their own procedures. The CHA administrative office is 2554 40th Avenue, Columbus NE 68601, 402-564-1131. Reviewed September 29, 2026. Confirm actual residence, income limits, rent, open waitlists, vacancies and written conviction-screening directly with each operator.

Heritage House Apartments: 2554 40th Avenue is both the directory's complex/campus reference and Columbus Housing Authority's administrative office; individual clusters do not have published entrance numbers. CHA's own property page describes 84 ground-level apartments clustered on 8.14 acres: 74 one-bedroom, six accessible and four two-bedroom units. CHA lists private entrances, assigned parking, a community room, cable-ready hookups, refrigerator/freezer, electric range, walk-in showers (some accessible), grab bars/emergency bell and small garden areas. The page lists transportation, visiting nurse, meal delivery and limited health-service access; these are described as accessible services, not guaranteed in-unit care. Rent depends on household income and includes heat, electricity, hot water, lawns, snow and trash. Income limits apply; preference is given to people aged 62+ or with disabilities. Its notice says the waiting list closed September 21, 2026 at 4 p.m. until further notice: later generic instructions to call for a pre-application do NOT establish an open list. Contact CHA before attempting to apply. No vacant unit or individual conviction decision is documented. Phone 402-564-1131.

League of Human Dignity — 44th Avenue Housing: The directory lists the organization at 2169 44th Ave but does not establish which residential entrance belongs to its apartments. The April 2026 list says applicants must experience a disability and all units are wheelchair accessible. This is an organization/site-level lead, not evidence that its contact address is a distinct apartment building. No unit count, rent or vacancy is given. Phone 888-508-4758.

Crown Villa: 4005 38th Street. In the senior/disabled preference section, but the April 2026 list EXPLICITLY says this property is NOT income-based. It does not state a numeric age threshold, rent, unit count or vacancy. Phone 402-564-7311. Source https://thecolumbuspage.com/wp-content/uploads/Landlords-with-Income-Based-Rent-updated-04-2026.pdf. Older-only lead: North Creek Apartments: The authority's displayed February 2023 image says 2808 32nd Street; the April 2026 income list omits it and the June 2026 landlord list gives no address. Historical authority image lists North Creek as income-based and one-bedroom at 2808 32nd Street. The June 2026 Chamber landlord directory still names Northcreek Apts, but says one OR two bedrooms, and the April 2026 income-based list does not include it. Current address, apartment mix and income-based status are unconfirmed. Do not promise eligibility, a current rent or vacancy, or pin the older address. Phone 402-564-5623.

Heritage House details and waiting-list notice: https://www.columbusha.com/heritage-house-apartments. Housing Choice Voucher program: https://www.columbusha.com/section-8-voucher-program. Voucher rent assistance is calculated by CHA from household income and family size; families are expected to contribute approximately 30% of income toward rent, but the landlord must independently agree to rent and participate, screens tenants using their own procedures, and may charge a tenant-paid deposit. CHA says it does not provide emergency or deposit assistance. Both CHA waiting lists' September 21, 2026 closure notices take precedence over generic pre-application directions left on the same pages. Office: 2554 40th Ave, Columbus NE 68601; 402-564-1131. This is not a separate rental card. The CHA housing page embeds an image of FY 2025 Platte County HUD income limits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a0b6605bce176b930af6f32/f47c8c9a-d646-4790-8d6d-be2aff7203f1/FY+2025+Income+Limits+for+Platte+County+NE.jpg. Historical 2025 annual dollar limits by household size 1–8 (NOT 2026 limits or an individual property's final eligibility decision): Extremely low: $21,050 / $24,050 / $27,050 / $32,150 / $37,650 / $43,150 / $48,650 / $54,150. Very low (50%): $35,050 / $40,050 / $45,050 / $50,050 / $54,100 / $58,100 / $62,100 / $66,100. Low (80%): $56,100 / $64,100 / $72,100 / $80,100 / $86,550 / $92,950 / $99,350 / $105,750. The image gives FY2025 median family income of $100,100; that is an area measure, NOT an apartment rent or an automatic qualifying threshold. Ask CHA for current income tables and program-specific rules. The newer Chamber general landlord PDF https://thecolumbuspage.com/wp-content/uploads/Landlord-List-updated-6.30.26.pdf includes additional named apartment contacts without residential addresses and numerous individual landlords for houses/duplexes; do not turn unlocated contacts into mapped rental properties. The authority image also suggests the Platte County Nebraska Rentals/Homes for Sale Facebook page; this is a search referral, not an endorsed vacancy.
