NeighborWorks Lincoln is a nonprofit community housing development organization that actively partners with residents, businesses, and public officials to increase the supply of affordable housing and strengthen neighborhoods. We open doors for people to achieve their dreams of home ownership and for those who are committed to strong and inclusive neighborhoods.

Vision

NeighborWorks Lincoln is a force for opportunity and inclusion across our community. We are working toward a future where every child and adult lives in a quality affordable home in a strong and socially-connected neighborhood—the building blocks of a healthy and equitable city.

Mission

NeighborWorks Lincoln improves lives by expanding affordable housing opportunities and strengthening neighborhoods. 

Values

Connectedness

Great work is rarely done in isolation, and thriving communities are built through meaningful connections. We develop and maintain strong, authentic relationships to create a sense of belonging. We believe real change happens when people come together, united by trust and a shared purpose.

Fearless

We are courageous, bold, and confident in what we do because we choose to work in an environment that encourages and supports taking risks. We lead with conviction, embrace innovation, and advocate relentlessly - no matter the obstacles - because the stakes are too high for anything less. We believe in our mission, our capabilities, and our impact.

Passion

Building stronger communities requires heart as much as strategy. Our commitment to and enthusiasm for our work fuels our mission, drives us to go beyond what is expected, inspires our community, and keeps us rooted in the belief that housing is not just a human need, but a human right.

Resilience

We reframe current and anticipated obstacles as temporary setbacks and not permanent roadblocks. We remain steadfast when the work is hard, resourceful when resources are scarce, and hopeful when progress feels slow or nonexistent. We don't just overcome difficult situations but thrive and grow from them.
