Women’s Center for Advancement Relocates to New Office

The Women’s Center for Advancement (WCA) (www.wcaomaha.org) is moving to their new office at 3801 Harney Street this month!

As a local entity serving the Omaha-metro area for 130 years, the WCA focuses on specifically serving victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and stalking. It became clear in 2015 after two years of enormous client growth under the leadership of CEO Amy Richardson that the WCA was short on space at 29th & Farnam. In summer 2016, after a lengthy search for the ideal location, the WCA purchased its new building, which at the time was the office for Region 6 Behavioral Healthcare. Demolition and construction began on the building in 2017.

Carefully designed to meet the unique safety needs of the clientele of the WCA, the new building features more than a dozen client consultation rooms. With features like a private waiting area for clients, specific rooms for support groups, trauma-sensitive yoga, and seminars, the building was designed with intention.

The WCA will be moving into the new office on Monday, April 2 and will resume client services on Thursday, April 5. There will be a grand opening and ribbon-cutting event on Saturday, April 14 from 1-3 p.m., with remarks at 1:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend this event.
