🎉 Celebrating Julie’s Retirement! 🎉

Julie has worn many hats at OHA—from property management to many dedicated years as an accountant in our finance department. Her hard work and commitment have made a lasting impact, and she will be truly missed.

Wishing you a happy and well-deserved retirement, Julie! 💐

All Omaha Housing Authority offices will be closed on Friday, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865—the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced that more than 250,000 enslaved African Americans were free. Although the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued more than two years earlier, it could not be enforced in areas still under Confederate control. For many, June 19 marked the first day of freedom.

The years that followed, known as Reconstruction, were a time of both hope and challenge. Newly freed African Americans worked to reunite families, establish schools and businesses, participate in government, and build new opportunities for future generations.

Often referred to as America’s second Independence Day, Juneteenth is a time to reflect on our nation’s history, honor the resilience and achievements of African Americans, and recognize the enduring importance of freedom, equality, and hope.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth as we commemorate this important day.

Last Wednesday, the Omaha Housing Authority was honored to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Chambers Court redevelopment alongside partner Hoppe Development!

We are grateful to Front Porch Investments, Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Nebraska Investment Finance Authority, Greater Omaha Chamber, and the many other community leaders, elected officials, and project partners who are making this multiphase rehab and new-construction housing project a reality for North Omaha.

We have every confidence that Hoppe Development will respect what Ernie Chambers Court has meant to this neighborhood and will take the vision even further, serving as a catalyst for broader neighborhood revitalization, economic opportunity, and long-term stability.

Thank you to everyone who has called Chambers Court home - past and present. It was our honor to serve you for the last 22 years.
