Supportive Community Living

OHB’s Supportive Community Living Program offers affordable, safe, temporary living spaces to families and young adults ages 18 to 26. Young adults and families in the program are surrounded by on-site support services to help them advance their careers, achieve their academic goals and develop the necessary skills to lead independent, productive lives.

With the addition of the Supportive Community Living Program, for the first time in OHB’s 100-year history, our youth can receive support in every aspect of their lives, including education, living space, therapy and employment, all at one location. Additionally, the Supportive Community Living Program meets a critical need for young adults and families who are seeking secure, affordable living space in the Omaha metro while they work on developing necessary self-sufficiency skills.
