About Family Service Lincoln

Family Service Lincoln was founded in 1891 as the first charitable organization in Lincoln, Nebraska. Programming has evolved over the years to meet the needs of families and the current conditions in our community. Today, we’re proud to provide case management, housing support, behavioral health therapy, expanded learning opportunities, and nutrition and food programs to thousands of households each year. Our mission of “Helping Families Thrive” embodies the impact we have across all six tracks of programming.

About FiftyOne Commons

Family Service Lincoln is excited to introduce FiftyOne Commons: a mixed-use development in Northeast Lincoln that includes 8 affordable rowhouse rentals, a STEAM Activity Center, and a Community Crops garden. This project aligns with Family Service Lincoln’s strategic plan, the mayor’s goals of affordable housing and walkable neighborhoods, and the City of Lincoln’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan goal of accessible housing, a resilient food system, healthy and connected people, and infill development.

FiftyOne Commons adds to existing Family Service Lincoln programming by providing affordable housing, recreation, and expanded learning opportunities in the STEAM areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. The STEAM Activity Center will include a youth maker space, multimedia studio, computer learning lab, recreation area, gymnasium, and classroom, serving as a resource for agency programs and the neighborhood.
