Jeff Day of Actual Architecture Co. and UNL College of Architecture, joined by Jessica Scheuerman of Partners for Livable Omaha and Matthew Cavanaugh of Holy Name Housing Corporation will deliver a breakfast keynote lecture “OurStory: creating aging-ready housing.” Join us at the 2025 Nebraska Investment Finance Authority Innovation Expo, Nebraska’s premier conference on affordable housing and community development. The talk is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, 8 am at Embassy Suites Lincoln, Nebraska. Visit www.nifa.org for details and registration.

The talk responds to the question, “how do we want to live as we age?” with OurStory, a prototype middle-income, aging-ready small home for Omaha that approaches affordability at the intersection of design, finance, and policy. Designed by FACT and led by Partners for Livable Omaha, OurStory fills a gap in the local market for small house and ADU designs that are versatile, quicker to construct, energy-efficient, climate-resilient, environmentally responsible, maintenance-free, and empowering.
