The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate housing conditions for individuals returning to Omaha after incarceration. The study aims to analyze various factors affecting housing access for formerly incarcerated individuals, including Nebraska laws, local zoning ordinances, rental practices, and the availability of different housing options such as transitional and supportive housing. Additionally, it will review successful housing models from other regions and assess the impact of housing on recidivism and reintegration into society.

The Urban Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study, which will involve collaboration with community leaders, housing experts, and various stakeholders to align state policies with best practices. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
