Founded in 1975, Siena Francis House is Nebraska's largest provider of services to individuals experiencing homelessness, and is located in six facilities at 17th & Nicholas Streets in downtown Omaha. Each year, Siena Francis House provides over 400,000 meals.
Chief Advancement Officer, Chris Bauer, spent some time with Mike Hogan to talk about the fact that while Siena Francis House provides emergency shelter, food and clothing to individuals experiencing homelessness, their ultimate goal is to end homelessness by helping each and every guest achieve housing out in the community. As part of this effort, Siena Francis House also provides Permanent Supportive Housing for formerly homeless, disabled persons on their campus. There are also 50 tiny homes that will put roofs over the heads of people who have experienced chronic homelessness. The houses are an innovative approach to addressing a shortage of permanent supportive housing, part of Omaha's overall shortage of affordable housing. And there is so much more!
