Scale profile for Douglas County Housing Authority
With 1,410 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Douglas County Housing Authority sits at the 81st percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 91st percentile inside NE. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.
Across NE's 90 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $961–$1,368/month (median $961). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other NE PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Douglas County Housing Authority is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.
The nationwide HUD median sits at 62%; agencies running a higher HCV share than that tend to lean toward tenant-based vouchers rather than project-based public housing stock.
