KEARNEY KHA SIX COMMUNITIES IN THREE NEBRASKA TOWNS — Gibbon, Nebraska: 1 KHA directory community from https://www.kearneyhousingagency.com/housing-opportunities/properties-communities/. The full directory has six communities across Kearney, Gibbon and Minden; locations from other towns are not relabelled as Gibbon residences. KHA's directory https://www.kearneyhousingagency.com/housing-opportunities/properties-communities/ distinguishes three KHA-owned programs (Kearney Manor, Scattered Sites and Plaza Boulevard) from managed properties (Gibbon's Colony Acres, Minden's East View Court and Kearney's Autumn Village). Reviewed September 29, 2026. Its https://www.kearneyhousingagency.com/help-support/faqs/ says programs have waiting lists and estimates 6–18 months from application, but that is not a property-specific wait or confirmation that a particular list is currently taking applications. The FAQ says applications are ONLINE ONLY via https://khaweb.housingmanager.com/; computers are available for help at the KHA OFFICE, 2715 Avenue I, Kearney, and one application can select multiple programs. The FAQ says a criminal-history and rental-history review is part of the later eligibility interview; it does not say any individual conviction qualifies or disqualifies. Call KHA at 308-234-3000 to confirm property-specific intake, current location, accessibility, availability and written screening. Do not treat an apartment count or bedroom mix as a vacancy.
