Omaha launches pilot to improve homeless encampment responses with timely notices and housing support.
Omaha Mayor John Ewing announced a new pilot program on September 22, 2025, to improve the city’s response to homeless encampments through better coordination among agencies and faster, more compassionate action.
The initiative, developed with partners like Threshold Continuum of Care, emphasizes issuing seven- to ten-day notices before camp closures, connecting individuals to housing and support services, and expanding outreach efforts.
It aims to balance public safety with dignity, focusing on long-term solutions like mental health care, addiction treatment, and job training.
The plan comes amid ongoing challenges with encampment recurrence and growing public concern, while the City Council prepares to vote on related measures, including a proposed encampment ban and a long-term 911 service agreement with Sarpy County.
