Today, our Public Affairs and Advocacy Director, Tracie McPherson, was in Lincoln to testify in support of LB 449. This legislation would provide additional funds to help more local families with low to moderate incomes weatherize their homes. As we work with households through our Weatherization Program, we see first-hand the impact that these updates make in families’ lives. Not only does weatherization help reduce heating and cooling costs, but it also improves families' health and safety. We urge members of the Appropriations Committee to support LB 449. Pictured here: Omaha Public Power District's Sr. Product Specialist-Customer Advocacy Programs, Britton Gabel, testifying in support of LB 449 as well.

This month we recognize Black History and the achievements of African Americans. So often their accomplishments are missing from the history books. This month-long celebration is an opportunity to remember the rich history, culture, and impact many have had on our country and communities. The Great Plains Black History Museum is a great resource to learn about American history through the lens of African Americans.

Words matter. Actions matter. As violence and hate speech toward the Asian American and Pacific Islander community are on the rise, we condemn these acts and stand in solidarity with the AAPI community—including the families who partner with us, our staff, volunteers and advocates. We believe that home should be a place of safety and love. Right now, many members of the AAPI community are being made to feel fear in their communities and the country they call home—this must stop. To all of our AAPI neighbors, we value you and everything you bring to the community. At Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, we believe in humanity and that as humans we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate

Two years ago, Cynethia couldn’t stop smiling as she realized her dream of becoming a homeowner had finally come true.

During our latest Cost of Home Conversation, Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike shared that one of the biggest challenges for homebuyers is finding affordably priced houses on the market. Not only did the floods of 2019 take out many of these homes, but the increasing cost of materials and land is making rebuilding more expensive. This year, our goal is to build or renovate 12 homes in Sarpy County, including one through the Women Build program. #WomenBuild #BuildHer HABITATOMAHA.ORG Opportunities in Bellevue: Cost of Home Conversation | Habitat for Humanity of Omaha
