Housing Possibilities Campaign
Through the Housing Possibilities Campaign, we are raising funds to build a residential home in Nebraska City at 3rd Ave and 7th St. This newly built home will allow the individuals living in the house to age in place. We need your help to make this dream home become a reality. We are currently fundraising to help us reach our goal of $375,000.
