Lincoln Neighborhoods

Neighborhood Association Contact List

This map includes neighborhood associations for which membership is voluntary and open to the public - including both owners and renters. For homeowner associations, membership is required as part of the purchase of a home and limited to property owners exclusively. The Planning Department maintains contact information for homeowners associations that have agreed to share their information. In addition, because homeowners associations are typically incorporated, their official contact information can normally be found on the Nebraska Secretary of State's website by using the Corporate Search option.

Use the map below to locate or search for a Neighborhood Association or Homeowners Association. Neighborhood Associations are identified in gray, and Homeowners Associations are identified in red. To search for an Association, enter the Association name or an address in the search window. At the completion of the search, click on the map for Association information. Or navigate the map and click on the desired Association.

• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding is sometimes used in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods to improve parks or neighborhood commercial area streetscapes. Examples of completed park improvements include Trago, Belmont, Lakeview, and Idylwild parks. The 11th Street neighborhood commercial area and the area along 11th Street, between Lincoln Mall and A Street, has been the focus of CDBG-funded streetscape improvements for the past several years.

Data and Statistics

As neighbors work together to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods, it helps to know a variety of information about them. In the past the City of Lincoln provided a detailed listing of data for each known active and inactive neighborhood association. It was comprehensive and at times 'required to much digging' for many residents. Therefore below we offer a few websites that offer a trove of similar data products but in a map interface. Please feel free to use and cite them as needed in grant applications, articles or in conversation. The links range from direct and easy to use to in depth requiring more effort.

• Policy Map
• Census: Interactive Maps
• Justice Map
• Neighborhood Data for Social Change

Focus Area Plans

What is a Focus Area Plan?

The Livable Neighborhoods Committee, comprised of various city departments, oversees planning efforts to support engaged and active neighborhoods in an effort to improve the quality of life for residents. The Focus Area plan, a condensed planning process to engage neighborhoods, is one tool used by the Committee, to help drive neighborhood improvements and foster more engagement.

Benefits of a Focus Area Plan

A Focus Area Plan is an important neighborhood engagement process resulting in a planning document that identifies desired improvements in targeted areas. These plans are more condensed in scope and timeframe than a traditional subarea plan. The focus area typically targets a portion of a neighborhood while a subarea plan includes the entire neighborhood. By targeting a portion of a neighborhood, focus area plans may lead to quicker implementation of smaller projects or programs and work to align multiple department priorities. There is potential for a focus area plan to lead to the development of a subarea plan. The process helps identify a diverse range of funding sources such as federal, state, and local grants, city funds, and other economic opportunity tools to implement the projects.

In some instance a focus area plan may cover an area where a blight study has been conduced. A blight study is a formal evaluation conducted by a consultant to determine if a specific area meets legal criteria for deterioration, such as dilapidated buildings, unsafe conditions, or infrastructure issues. The blight study is used to open up incentives for making improvements in the study area. Following a blight study, a redevelopment plan identifies the Community Redevelopment Areas in which the redevelopment will occur, as well the policies, programs, activities, and funding sources for achieving redevelopment goals. In these situations, the focus area plan provides the community the greatest opportunity to make their voice heard. The blight study sets the legal foundations for the planning process. If a redevelopment plan materializes, it will incorporates the public input from the focus area plan and provide a second opportunity to provide input and also includes the technical details of the blight study, opening up the area for incentives.
