The Housing Authority of the City of Hastings, Nebraska was created and established in 1954 by the City of Hastings. The agency was established for the purpose of obtaining the transfer of a temporary war and veterans housing project on the southeast edge of the city from the U.S. Housing and Home Finance Agency. The property was built by the U.S. Navy for housing nearly 10,000 workers employed during the peak production period at the Naval Ammunition Depot east of Hastings. The property was temporary housing known as NEB. 25032 and 25074, but locals called it Spencer Park or Chimney Town. The property consisted of 198 cement-block dwelling structures containing 840 family dormitory dwelling units, and seven non-dwelling structures. The Housing Authority maintained and operated the property until it was gradually sold to the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, Inc., a retirement center (now known as Good Samaritan Village) — with the exception of Circle F, which was sold to the Good Hope Training School.
