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
