mission
NeighborWorks Omaha rekindles pride in neighborhoods and ignites
investments in the community.
history
New
Community Development Corporation (NCDC) began as an outgrowth of a program of
the United Methodist Community Center. After successfully working on the
development of Anathoth Town homes in North Omaha, New Community Development
Corporation was founded in 1992 to focus on community development with a
primary emphasis on providing new housing. Recently, NCDC became a
chartered member of the NeighborWorks America network. The organization was
recently renamed, NeighborWorks Omaha. NeighborWorks Omaha is a 501c3
organization with no formal church affiliation.
Some
of the NeighborWorks Omaha accomplishments since its inception:
· Over $35,000,000 infused into
the community through housing and business endeavors;
· 300+ units of affordable, safe
housing units (including multi and single family homes);
· Over 1100 potential
entrepreneurs fitted with the tools for successful start-up;
· Over 80 micro loans disbursed to
business owners.
·
In 2002 NWO began the
development of Miami Heights, the first market-rate housing development in
North Omaha in forty years.
Our
community development objectives are oriented toward:
· A commitment to building strong,
vibrant neighborhoods and communities;
· A commitment to rental units
with off-street parking or garages with considerable, well-cared-for "green"
space, and single-family units for individual ownership with similar amenities;
· The establishment of special
purpose developments, for example, housing for seniors and residents with a
hearing impairment;
· Small business development with
a variety of facets;
· Collaboration with other organizations
to meet community needs
