On May 6, 2025, Lincoln voters passed a ballot initiative to amend Title 11, making it illegal to discriminate against a person because of the lawful source of income they use for their housing costs. Examples of lawful source of income include income from a lawful profession, occupation, or job; income from Social Security or any form of federal, state, or local public assistance/housing assistance such as housing choice vouchers; or pensions, annuities, alimony, child support, or foster care subsidies.
