Board Meetings

The Omaha Housing Authority Board of Commissioners meets on the first Thursday of every month at 8:30 a.m. at OHA’s central office, 1823 Harney Street. When necessary, special meetings of the board may be called for the purpose of transacting business.

The Omaha Housing Authority Executive Office maintains the agendas and minutes for the monthly meetings.

The public is welcome to attend OHA Board of Commissioners meetings to speak on agenda items. If attending in person, pre-registration to speak on an item is not required.

A person shall not be allowed to address the Board of Commissioners during meetings unless speaking on an agenda item during the public hearing or invited to speak by a board member regarding an item on the agenda.

Below are guidelines for participating in person:

Whenever any person is speaking before the Board, his or her name, address, and the organization, interest, or person he or she represents shall be announced before he or she shall be allowed to speak.

When any person speaking before the Board is, in the opinion of the presiding officer, out of order, the presiding officer may declare said speaker out of order and may direct said speaker to cease and desist addressing the Board on the subject in question.

No document shall be read before the Board of Commissioners unless the person reading the same shall be willing to submit the same to the OHA staff to become part of the Journal Record.

Attendees are expected to be respectful to everyone wishing to speak. Therefore, signs and like materials are strictly prohibited. In addition, clapping, snapping, cheering, and booing or any similar actions that disrupt the decorum of the meeting is prohibited.
