HOUSING SOLUTIONS: DED PROGRAMS & WOOD RIVER HOUSING ACCOMPLISHMENTS
January 17, 2019
JANUARY 2019 WEBINAR
Lynn Kohout with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development shared about the DED Funding Programs available to communities. Sara Arnett also presented as a Wood River 2020 Committee Member and Compliance Officer for Heritage Bank about the housing accomplishments in Wood River, Nebraska. Their journey began in 2014 with an OOR Survery; this led to 13 homes improved and 2 demolitions.
Amy Haase and Joe Spitsen provided a great look at the Nebraska Housing Toolkit completed in 2022 by the Strategic Housing Council. The toolkit offers communities of all sizes comprehensive guidance, instructions, practical steps, and case studies to assist and develop their own housing development short and long-term plans.
On the September 2024 HomeNE Webinar you can hear from Megan Helberg, 2020 Nebraska Teach of the Year, as she talks about Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). She encourages community to put their talk into action and "Love Your Community". Finding ways to bridge the gap between the school and the community can lead to very positive results. Her message is one that emphasizes the ability to live in rural Nebraska and still chase your dreams!
The August, 2024 webinar is a revisit to the February 2022 HomeNE Webinar. Ben Conover is sharing where Conover Properties is today and the progress they have made in Norfolk, Tilden, Madison and Pierce in Northeast Nebraska. The amazing before and after renovation photos and the changes they are creating for their communities is a story worth hearing and sharing.
