Strategy
Systemwide Training and Auditing
This is the team’s guiding light and first priority. There is a fundamental cultural shift necessary within the Omaha metro homeless response system, and this strategy supports providers and leadership within this shift, while simultaneously holding accountability for critical change on behalf of unhoused people.
Through qualitative and quantitative data gathering, such as 1-on-1 interviews, focus groups, secret shops, and already available data, our team will identify the needs and gaps in services, as well as create and offer system wide training based off identified seeds and gaps.
Innovative Project Host
This strategy offers a supportive “host home” to innovative, mission-aligned projects and initiatives that further Reimagine’s vision to establish a standard of care that prioritizes innovative and humanitarian practices. Reimagine hosts projects that contribute to the mission of rebuilding systems that impact unhoused people and housing programs in the Greater Omaha Metro Area such as MHC.
