Who We Are

Our Mission

To facilitate the revitalization of a healthy, sustainable, mixed-income community in the Highlander neighborhood. We work to promote inter-generational prosperity by partnering to create high-quality housing, innovative educational opportunities, recreational facilities, and other neighborhood enrichment amenities.

Children Learn. Families are Healthy. Community Thrives.

Convene. Connect. Capacity-Build.

Seventy Five North is a nonprofit organization proudly rooted in the historic Highlander neighborhood of North Omaha, one of the city’s oldest communities. Since our founding in 2011, we have been dedicated to working with Highlander residents to overcome the lasting impacts of redlining and disinvestment.

How do we do this? By collaborating with the community to intentionally redesign our neighborhood’s landscape, we strive to provide equitable access to opportunities and amenities, empower individuals, and foster a strong sense of community. Our aim is to make Highlander a welcoming home for its residents and a vibrant hub within the Greater Omaha Metro, fostering connection, growth, and celebration.

Place Starts with People.

We believe that the heart of any thriving community is its people, and this belief shapes every aspect of our work. From honoring the wants and needs of legacy residents to welcoming newcomers, we are dedicated to cultivating equitable engagement platforms that empower our neighbors to shape the future of Highlander. Community feedback is at the core of our decisions, whether it’s helping us decide on events, shaping the programs and services we offer, or even determining the number of bedrooms in our housing units.

We strive to build a neighborhood where everyone feels heard, valued, and included. By actively listening to and collaborating with our community members, we aim to create a vibrant, supportive, and dynamic environment where everyone can thrive.

Prosperity Starts with Place.

Neighborhoods are among the most impactful units of change, and our hyperlocal approach to neighborhood revitalization is intended to build a community that not only meets the needs of today but preserves the legacy of those who have long called Highlander home. Highlander’s boundaries are defined by Parker Street to the south and Lake Street to the north, between 29th and 31st Streets. With the support of the Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grant and our ongoing single-family housing development, our footprint has expanded as far north as Spencer Street, extending between 33rd and 28th Streets.
