Legal Aid of Nebraska is a nonprofit law practice serving low-income residents across Nebraska. Based in Omaha, it provides civil legal services that help people navigate a complex system and address the kinds of challenges that sustain poverty, such as inadequate housing, barriers to employment, debt, and family instability. Founded in 1963, the organization seeks to convert access to legal support into concrete improvements in clients' lives and broader progress toward fair treatment under the law. Its attorneys offer a full range of civil legal services, from brief advice and counseling to assistance with self-representation and direct representation in court. The client base comprises disadvantaged individuals seeking to protect their rights or secure needed benefits. In May 2026, Legal Aid of Nebraska, alongside partner organizations, filed a lawsuit against the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services challenging an algorithm-based assessment that reduces Medicaid home-care services for some individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
