One Omaha’s mission is to empower people where they live.
We value inclusive participation in the growth of our communities and are passionate about enhancing the quality of life in our city. We benefit communities by addressing the lack of capacity in neighborhoods and helping them gain greater control of their own development. Our impact builds human, technical, and conceptual skills to sustain civic and community efforts to achieve a resident-led vision for neighborhoods throughout Omaha.
Our vision is to be the people’s resource for developing thriving neighborhoods in Omaha.
