About
Habitat for Humanity of Omaha has been building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter in the Omaha metropolitan area since 1984. The organization focuses on creating affordable homeownership opportunities by constructing and renovating homes in Burt, Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, and Cass Counties. Habitat Omaha distinguishes itself through a partnership model, requiring future homeowners to contribute up to 275 hours of 'sweat equity' alongside volunteer labor and donor contributions. This unique approach ensures long-term affordability through 30-year mortgages and fosters a strong sense of community investment, making it a compelling organization for individuals seeking to contribute to impactful social change.
