Lincoln Bans Income-Based Housing Discrimination | Omaha News
Description
A Nebraska judge has rejected landlords’ bid to block Lincoln’s new housing ban, which prohibits discrimination based on a tenant’s income source — including Section 8 vouchers. Landlords argued the law violates their constitutional rights and could lead to fines or jail time, citing a client under investigation. The city countered that the lawsuit was filed too late and that the law doesn’t involve criminal penalties or warrantless searches. The judge sided with the city, calling for a high bar to block such laws, and affirmed the ban remains in place — a move backed by voters aiming to end housing insecurity for voucher users.
