MISSION
Founded in 2020, Partners for Livable Omaha is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing the livability of communities throughout the Omaha metro.
VISION
Partners for Livable Omaha (Livable Omaha) partners with organizations, stakeholders and experts who share a common vision for strengthening our communities. Our programs build bridges across disciplines and across community populations. We focus on creative workforce development, arts-based community empowerment, design-based solutions, and creating new livability resources that are accessible to all.
PROGRAMS
We created and operate the Omaha Mobile Stage. Launched in 2021, our Omaha Mobile Stage (OMS) program uses creative placemaking, community-based arts and cultural resources, and multidisciplinary collaboration to expand live performing arts opportunities and make space for creatives to participate in community and economic development in the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area. Our service areas include Douglas and Sarpy Counties in Nebraska, Pottawattamie County in Iowa, and the metro’s nearby rural communities.
In summer 2024, we launched our second major program, called OurStory, to create new design solutions for aging-ready infill housing and accessory dwellings in the Omaha metro and beyond.
