Advancing Homeownership in Historically Redlined Neighborhoods Regional Strategy Study
Front Porch Investments is seeking a qualified research partner to lead a comprehensive, mixed-methods study focused on strengthening homeownership access, stability, and wealth-building in Omaha–Council Bluffs’ historically redlined and long-disinvested neighborhoods. The findings from this work will inform a regional strategy that supports residents, aligns ecosystem partners, and guides the next generation of Front Porch's investments and program design.
What We’re Hiring For
We are looking for a partner who can translate both data and lived experience into clear, actionable recommendations that shape long-term, community-centered systems change in the region. The selected consultant will assess homeownership needs, barriers, and opportunities in the Omaha–Council Bluffs region’s formerly redlined neighborhoods and produce a system-level strategy that includes:
- Assessment of current homeownership needs, barriers, opportunities and conditions in the Omaha metro’s formerly redlined neighborhoods
- A neighborhood-level analysis of North and South Omaha and relevant areas of Council Bluffs
- Inventory of existing programs and investments that support homeowners and prospective homeowners
- Identification of gaps and strengths in existing programs, policies, and funding
- Direct engagement with legacy residents to capture lived experience
- A scan of national best practices and models relevant to the region
- Tactical, actionable recommendations to guide Front Porch's future investment and ecosystem alignment
The final deliverable should incorporate guidance and input from Front Porch's Community Advisory Committee.
