"The OurStory houses are designed to be built fast and inexpensively for anything from an age-in-place forever home to a backyard accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to a remarkably enticing option for a first-time homebuyer."
"Omaha, like many cities, has a shortage of affordable housing. The city estimates that it needs 30,000 new homes for low- and middle-income residents by the end of the decade."
"The larger house has already sold for just $190,000—$90,000 less than the median sale price of homes in the city. The smaller house will likely be even more affordable."
Two modern residences in northeast Omaha, measuring 802 and 618 square feet, redefine housing standards with their bold designs and affordability. These homes are part of the OurStory project, aimed at providing accessible housing solutions through efficient layouts and prefab construction. Developed by Partners for Livable Omaha and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the project addresses the city's need for affordable housing and variety in home types. The larger home sold for $190,000, significantly below the city's median home price, with the smaller home expected to be even more affordable.
