Dana Village is a transformative initiative that reimagines the former Dana College campus in Blair, Nebraska, as a vibrant, multi-generational community centered on attainable housing and supportive services. A key focus is helping young adults transitioning out of foster care by providing stable housing, transportation, workforce development opportunities, mental health support, and life skills resources that promote long-term independence and success.
More than a housing project, Dana Village is designed to become a community of opportunity and belonging, revitalizing a historic campus while addressing critical needs such as homelessness prevention, workforce development, and community engagement. Through donor support, Lutheran Family Services is creating an innovative model that empowers residents to build strong futures while strengthening the broader Blair community.
