Strengthening the Affordable Housing Ecosystem
We support the hundreds of dedicated organizations that are working to solve Nebraska’s affordable housing crisis.
To successfully pull at the root causes of affordable housing, the ecosystem’s nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, interest groups, and other organizations must work together as a cohesive whole to answer some hard questions.
- Are we making progress?
- What are the real root causes?
- Which programs are working well?
- Which could use improvement? How?
- How should we allocate resources?
- How can we work better together?
Every 3-5 years a fresh crop of strategic plans are built to align efforts, but the world changes faster than we can plan. Policies and funding sources shift, technology improves, housing innovations and societal trends adjust buyer demand, and plans become outdated quickly. We need to do better, together.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We provide valuable insight into the affordable housing ecosystem as a whole so each individual contributor can undercover new opportunities to fill service gaps, reach new markets, anticipate challenges, drive targeted innovation, diversify funding sources, optimize resources, and ensure maximum impact.

We work with individual organizations or strategic plan groups to fill service gaps, identify technology and innovation focus areas, connect to support resources, build strategic partnerships, and communicate better across ecosystem organizations statewide.
ECOSYSTEM & SERVICE MAPPING
We visualize the ecosystem as a whole, linking services within organizations to specific root causes, ensuring cohesive, systemic solutions.
ECOSYSTEM HEALTH SCORECARD
Our Scorecard dashboard displays how well the ecosystem is addressing each root cause, and tracks challenges and opportunities in real time.
CUSTOM ECOSYSTEM SUPPORT
We work with organizations and strategic planners to fill service gaps, drive innovation, justify funding, and strengthen the ecosystem.
WHAT ARE THE FOCUS AREAS?
We scanned dozens of strategic plans, websites, and talked to experts in the field to identify these key focus areas necessary to fully address affordable housing, then zero in on root causes within each focus area, and run health assessments in each root cause.
