Nothing beats taking time to appreciate the incredible people who make OHA what it is! 🎳🌺

Last Friday, we hosted our Employee Appreciation Bowling Event at Chops Bowling — complete with luau-inspired food, Hawaiian attire, plenty of laughs, and an afternoon dedicated to celebrating our amazing team.

Whether employees chose to bowl with coworkers, enjoy lunch together, or simply take a well-deserved afternoon off to kickstart the weekend, the goal was simple: say THANK YOU to the people who work hard every single day for our residents, families, and each other.

We are grateful for a team that brings dedication, compassion, and positivity to OHA every day — and we loved having the opportunity to spend some fun time together outside the office!

Mahalo to our incredible staff for all that you do! 🌸

Our Annual OHA Employee Spring into Wellness Fair was a wonderful success! 🌸☀️

We loved seeing our employees come together to focus on health, self-care, wellness, and community connection. From health screenings and wellness resources to local vendors, food, and fun, the event was filled with positive energy and valuable information for our team.

A huge thank you to all of our community partners, vendors, and staff who helped make this event possible. Your support and dedication to employee wellness truly makes a difference!

At OHA, we know that investing in our employees’ well-being helps build a stronger workplace and stronger community. 💙

Check out some highlights from the event below! 📸👇

At our Southside Terrace project, progress goes beyond construction, it’s about community impact.

This redevelopment includes the demolition of 16 existing buildings and the ground-up construction of 20 new buildings, bringing 113 much-needed residential housing units to the area.

In partnership with the Omaha Fire Department, our team is providing space at Southside Terrace for hands-on recruit training. Utilizing the existing structures, firefighters are gaining real-world experience through roof-cutting demonstrations and tactical exercises. It’s a strong example of how collaboration can strengthen both our communities and those who serve them.

All Omaha Housing Authority offices will close tomorrow, Friday, May 8th at 12:00 PM for an Employee Appreciation Event.

We appreciate your understanding as we take time to recognize and celebrate our hardworking staff for their dedication and service to our community. Offices will reopen on Monday 8am.

A big day for South Omaha & affordable housing! 🎉

Yesterday, OHA proudly celebrated the progress made in the transformation of Southside Terrace!

✨ Phase 1: Cornerstone at Southside
We marked the completion of the first phase with a ribbon cutting at The Cornerstone, a four‑story, 92‑unit mixed-income housing community built on the former Southside Terrace Garden Apartments site. This milestone represents a fresh start and new opportunities for residents.

🏗️ Phase 3: Ascent & Summit Place
We also broke ground on Phase 3, which will bring 113 additional mixed-income housing units to the community—continuing the momentum and vision for Southside Terrace.

None of this would be possible without strong partnerships and shared commitment. Thank you to our residents, the City of Omaha, Brinshore Development, LLC, Canopy South, and The Simple Foundation, for helping make this transformation a reality.

Together, we’re building a stronger future—one home at a time. 💙🏠

Thanks to the team at Lueder Construction, our general contractor partner, for The Cornerstone at Southside, the first phase of redevelopment at OHA’s former Southside Terrace Garden Apartments.
