Background

rTo address the need for decent shelter in the Omaha area, Habitat Omaha works in many ways: building and renovating homes, repairing existing houses, taking down blighted structures, advocating for better laws and systems, and more. They work with families to help them acquire the access, skills, and financial education needed to be successful homeowners. By partnering with Habitat Omaha, families seize the opportunity and possibility that quality, affordable housing represents. r

r

Brag Lines

rSince 1984, Habitat Omaha has partnered with more than 1,400 families in the community to help address their housing issues through homeownership, home repairs, and community building activities. Thousands of donors and volunteers have worked together with future Habitat Omaha homeowners to make these services a reality, building stronger neighborhoods and creating measurable change in the community. r

Pay it Forward

rHabitat Omaha builds because they believe that everyone, everywhere, should have a decent place to live. With an affordable, stable home, families can build long-term financial security and have more to spend on food, medicine, child care, education, and other essentials. Community support will help transform the lives of Omaha families, allowing them to achieve the strength and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves and their children.r
