Incentive Transfer Program

Incentive Transfer is a nomination program that allows qualified residents, who are currently in good standing, to transfer from family development and tower housing into the Omaha Housing Authority’s scattered-site homes and apartments.  The goal of the Incentive Transfer program is to promote residents in the family developments and towers to be self-motivated and show a willingness of self-improvement and upward mobility to self-sufficiency.

The requirements for the Incentive transfer program are as follow:

• Participant must be a resident who has resided under lease with the Housing Authority for a period of at least six months, prior to being nominated for the program.
• During said period, resident shall have paid all rent, utility, and other charges, if any, with no delinquencies.
• During said period, resident shall not have committed any violation of his/her lease with the Omaha Housing Authority.
• The resident shall not have a history of criminal activity involving any crimes of physical violence to persons and/or property, or any other criminal acts which could adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of others.
• The resident shall have a record relatively free of complaints from any serious confrontations with neighbors, staff, or others arising primarily from the activities of the resident.
• The resident shall have a record of good housekeeping.
• The resident shall have the willingness and capacity to perform yard maintenance, such as mowing and watering the grass, raking leaves, trimming trees and bushes, shoveling drive and sidewalks. 
• The resident should show a willingness and capacity for self-improvement and upward mobility. This can be demonstrated by a record of enrollment in job training, promotion programs, educational self-improvement courses, or active or educational organizations or programs.
• The resident shall have sufficient resources to pay all costs of moving and to make the required deposits with utility companies.
