United Way of the Midlands Awards $80K to Stephen Center

Stephen Center (www.StephenCenter.org) is pleased to announce it was recently awarded an $80,000 grant from United Way of the Midlands. Thanks to the generosity of United Way donors, Stephen Center will continue meeting the needs of people experiencing homelessness and poverty by providing case management to help them achieve their goals.

Located in South Omaha, Stephen Center serves the homeless, addicted, and those in poverty. They provide emergency shelter to an average of 65 people every day. These individuals often need help to navigate their way to housing stability. Stephen Center case managers assist clients to set goals, plan, and execute steps to achieve success. With the help of this grant, Stephen Center clients will have the support to increase housing stability, treatment completion rates, measurable income, and goal achievement toward self-sufficiency and stabilization. In 2020, case management support helped 83% of individuals who exited Stephen Center’s emergency shelter programs move to positive housing destinations.
