FREMONT HOUSING AGENCY PUBLIC AND TAX CREDIT HOUSING — Fremont, Nebraska; https://fremonthousing.org/public.aspx, https://fremonthousing.org/lihtc.aspx reviewed September 29, 2026. FHA's public-housing page describes two Fremont towers and a separate Hooper Housing Authority residence; its LIHTC page describes four income-restricted Fremont groups. Source counts are 245 apartments combined across Gifford and Stanton, 25 at Hooper Parkview, and 64 combined at Somers Point I/II. Hidden Brook and Northside each use an ambiguous “40-unit complexes” description: do not assume 40 per phase or double-count. FHA's https://fremonthousing.org/applicants.aspx offers distinct printable applications for Gifford/Stanton, Hooper–Parkview, Somers Point, Hidden Brook, Northside and Magnolia. It instructs applicants to complete the appropriate form, include required documents, and return it to Gifford Tower at 2510 N. Clarkson Street, Fremont NE 68025; for the tower application it lists an ID and Social Security card. Ask FHA at 402-727-4848 to verify the current application procedure, waitlist, income limits and actual availability. Neither of the two housing pages states conviction-specific acceptance or a property-by-property criminal-history rule; request current written screening criteria before applying. The Hooper authority is distinct from FHA even though its Parkview information appears on FHA's site. Gifford Tower — FHA identifies Gifford Tower as its 12-story public-housing residence at 2510 N. Clarkson Street, Fremont NE 68025. Its administrative office also uses that address; FHA explicitly describes the tower as housing there. Gifford serves all ages, subject to legal age to sign a Nebraska contract, HUD income limits and occupancy rules for one-bedroom apartments. Gifford and Stanton Towers together have 245 apartments; FHA does not give a separate Gifford count. Units have stoves, refrigerators, air conditioning and heating; rent covers utilities and maintenance, but not telephone or cable. Both towers have coin laundry, community rooms, assigned off-street parking, accessible units, resident-support services and access to Stanton's low-cost noon meal program. FHA invites applications but gives no current vacancy or property-specific waitlist status on this page. Source: https://fremonthousing.org/public.aspx.

Clarkson Street, Fremont NE 68025. It is designated strictly for people age 62 or older, unlike all-ages Gifford Tower. The two towers together have 245 apartments; the page does not give Stanton's individual unit count. Apartments include stoves, refrigerators, air conditioning and heat. Rent covers utilities and maintenance but not telephone or cable. Stanton has a community room, coin laundry, assigned off-street parking, accessible units, resident-support services and its own dining room with a low-cost noon meal program (delivery options are described for residents of both towers). FHA describes HUD income limits and one-bedroom occupancy rules; it does not establish a current vacancy. Source: https://fremonthousing.org/public.aspx. Form: https://fremonthousing.org/documents/applications/publicHousingSection8Application.pdf. Somers Point I & II — FHA says Somers Point I and II together have 64 smoke-free income-restricted two-bedroom townhomes: 32 in Phase I (completed 2000) and 32 in Phase II (completed 2003), for applicants age 62 or older under current NIFA income guidelines. The group is on West Somers Point Drive off North Somers Avenue, but no individual numbered residences are supplied; it is unpinned. Homes have a kitchen, bath, washer/dryer, central heat and air, attached garage, with some accessible units; both phases share a clubhouse. Rent includes water, sewer and garbage, with maintenance/grounds/snow removal; tenants pay electricity, cable and telephone. Rent is set annually under tax-credit rules, and rental assistance may be available. The page says the application waitlist is always open; that is not a vacant-unit promise.

Hidden Brook Townhomes I & II — FHA describes Hidden Brook I and II as 40-unit income-eligible complexes off East 29th Street in Fremont, financed by NIFA tax credits and HOME funds, for qualifying households of all ages. It does not specify whether 40 is a combined total or a count for each phase; do not double it. Three-bedroom, one-bath homes include kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, storm shelter, heat pump and attached garage; accessible units are available. FHA maintains interiors, grounds, snow and garbage service. The complex is smoke-free. Tenants pay electricity, water, sewer, cable, internet and telephone. Rent follows annual tax-credit guidelines; assistance may be available. The page says the application waitlist is always open, not that a home is vacant. No numbered residential entrances are published. Source: https://fremonthousing.org/lihtc.aspx. Form: https://fremonthousing.org/documents/applications/hiddenBrookApplication.pdf. Fremont Northside Townhomes I & II — FHA describes Northside I and II as 40-unit income-eligible duplex complexes off East 29th Street in Fremont, financed by NIFA tax credits and HOME funds and eligible for all ages subject to income limits. It does not clarify whether 40 is combined or per phase. Its introductory line says three bedrooms/one bath; a later line says three or four bedrooms and one to one-and-a-half baths, so ask FHA for actual unit mix. It lists attached garages, storm shelters, lawn care, trash, snow removal, playground and mini library. The page provides no numbered residential address, rent amount, current vacancy or explicit Northside waitlist status. Source: https://fremonthousing.org/lihtc.aspx.

Magnolia Estates — FHA locates this age-55-and-older income-restricted community on East 29th Street in Fremont without giving a numbered dwelling address or unit total. Its two-bedroom, one-bath homes have modern kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, storm shelters and single-car attached garages. FHA describes maintenance, low utility cost and smoke-free units. Residents pay electricity, water, sewer, cable, landline telephone and internet; rent is set annually under tax-credit guidelines. The page does not establish current rent, an open waitlist or vacancy, and the group is not pinned to FHA's office. Source: https://fremonthousing.org/lihtc.aspx.
