Nebraska Local Resources

Finding assistance in Nebraska can involve both a local referral and a state benefits application. Start with 211 Nebraska for community needs, then use iServe Nebraska if you want to explore public benefits. The state’s Aging and Disability Resource Center offers another route for questions about community services, caregiving and long-term support, including help identifying local contacts.

Start With 211 Nebraska

211 Nebraska connects residents across Nebraska to local resources; its operator also maintains separate searches for Iowa and Illinois.

211 Nebraska

Call 211 or 866-813-1731. Choose the Nebraska search on the service website.

The 211 website serves more than one state, so select Nebraska before narrowing the search to your community. For aging or disability support, Nebraska’s ADRC is a separate resource for older adults, people with disabilities, families and caregivers. Ask which local organization can help with the particular task you need.
