In 2026, HomeWoven launched a new construction component of our Home Affordability Program. This summer, we broke ground on four new homes in South Omaha. The first new home is nearing completion, and interested first-time homebuyers are already working to pre-qualify before it goes on the market in late November.
A grant from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (NDED), no-interest construction financing from Front Porch Investments, and support from Wells Fargo made these new, affordable homes possible.
“Solving Omaha’s affordable housing shortage takes all of us working together. We’re grateful for our partners whose support helped make these new homes affordable for more Omaha families.”
— Jim Clements, HomeWoven Executive Director
HomeWoven’s new, affordable homes are available to first-time homebuyers earning between 80% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) or $91,200 to $136,800 per year for a family of four. The homes are designed to fit into the surrounding neighborhoods, using modified plans from the APMA Affordable Housing Playbook. The homes feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a garage. The basement is ready to be finished if the homeowner chooses to add additional living space in the future.

“Our experience with purchasing and rehabilitating homes has given us a good understanding of what it takes to provide quality, affordable housing. New construction allows us to build on that experience to create more opportunities for families to become homeowners. Our goal is to provide quality, energy efficient homes that are affordable and will serve families for years to come.”
— Shane Murphy, Director of Construction
The first home available for purchase is located at 13th and Z Streets. (See it under construction here.) Three more homes will be completed by the end of the year. HomeWoven will begin construction on a fifth home in the spring 2027.
