We're excited to collaborate with @FrontPorchInv on their #HousingMatters narrative shift campaign. We will explore what the Omaha community currently believes about housing and transform narratives to increase support for real, lasting solutions. https://t.co/hPPdc56IPX

"Home prices in the Omaha metro have been rising more than 3x faster than median family incomes (11% spike in 2022), in a city long touted as an affordable place to live. “This is what we are known for, and it has quietly been slipping out of our fingers,” said Meridith Dillon."
"Every Nebraskan wants and needs a good and safe place to call home. But that basic necessity is increasingly proving elusive for thousands all across Nebraska."

I’ve lived outside several times with my family. Why? Nearby family safe shelters were full, one shelter refused us because we’ve been too many times, and our “transitional housing” lasted 2 years. Available shelters housed men with children.
