After years of renting, Kapree became a proud homeowner in June thanks to Habitat for Humanity Omaha’s Home Journey program. “When this opportunity arose, I was like, I have to take it. I have to see what it’s about. I have to at least give it a chance,” he shared. Our team worked with Kapree to tackle debt and prepare for a mortgage—making the dream of homeownership possible. For many families, rising housing costs and interest rates make buying a home nearly impossible. That’s why programs like ours matter. Thank you, First Alert 6, for sharing Kapree's story and how Habitat Omaha can help others. https://lnkd.in/g8q7h6cu #HabitatOmaha #Homeownership #BuildingCommunity #AffordableHousing

About us
Founded in 1984, Habitat for Humanity of Omaha is a grassroots organization that builds and renovates houses, forges community partnerships and breaks down barriers. We help to grow and maintain the quality, affordable housing stock in Burt County, Douglas County, Sarpy County, Washington and Cass County while increasing access to homeownership opportunities throughout the area. Habitat Omaha homebuyers complete up to 275 hours of sweat equity before purchasing their homes through a 30-year affordable mortgage. We mobilize thousands of donors and volunteers every year in this mission.

🏡 50 Years of Progress. 50 Years of Possibility. In 1974, women gained the legal right to secure a mortgage without a male co-signer — a pivotal moment in the journey toward financial independence and homeownership equity. Today, we celebrate 50 years of women building, buying, and owning homes in their own name. At Habitat Omaha, we’re proud to stand with the women who’ve turned keys, raised walls, and built futures — for themselves and their families. Here’s to the next 50 years of breaking barriers and building dreams. 💪💙 #HabitatOmaha #WomenBuild #50YearsStrong #HomeownershipMatters #EqualCreditOpportunity #BuildHerFuture #HabitatforHumanity

Today and every day, we’re honored to build more than houses — we’re helping to restore dignity, security, and hope. At Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, our Veterans Home Repair Program is a tangible way we say “Thank You” to the men and women who have served. In the latest Behind the Build story — “Behind the Build: Honoring those who served” — you’ll read about veterans who quietly fought to maintain their homes, sometimes going without running water, and the incredible transformations we’ve been honored to partner in. Because when we help a veteran stay safe and secure in their home, it isn’t charity — it’s gratitude. (Habitat for Humanity) ➡️ Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gztCEeHY We’re grateful for every veteran in our community and proud to stand alongside local partners who make this work possible. If you’re wondering how you can support — whether as a volunteer, donor, or advocate — we invite you to join us in this mission of home, hope, and honor. #VeteransDay #ServingThoseWhoServed #HabitatOmaha #HomeRepair #CommunityImpact

This simple legal tool allows your home to pass directly to your heirs — avoiding probate entirely.
