This document discusses sustainable and affordable housing options in the Midwest. It finds that while over 180,000 energy star certified and 130,000 LEED certified multi-family units have been built in the US, the Heartland region of Nebraska and Iowa have fewer such units relative to population. Developing energy efficient housing through standards like Energy Star, LEED, and Passive House can provide financial benefits to developers and tenants through incentives, higher property values, and reduced energy costs, but many in the region are not taking advantage of these opportunities.
This document summarizes research on enhancing transportation demand management (TDM) options at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It finds that UNO currently relies heavily on single-occupancy vehicles compared to peer universities. Implementing a multi-pronged TDM strategy including expanded transit subsidies and incentives for biking/carpooling would be more cost-effective than continuing to increase parking capacity. The research recommends modifying parking fees to better reflect costs, expanding the free MavRide program, and collaborating regionally on promoting sustainable transportation options.
This document discusses inclusive economic development strategies for Omaha, Nebraska. It finds that while traditional attraction-based economic development has benefited the city overall, it has masked significant economic disparities experienced by racial minority groups. It argues that entrepreneurship-based development, which focuses on supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses, can help create more inclusive growth. Key points include:
- Minority groups in Omaha have higher poverty rates, lower incomes, and higher unemployment than whites.
- Minority business ownership, sales, and employment are also significantly lower than national averages.
- Entrepreneurship can create jobs, wealth, and economic opportunities in disadvantaged communities.
- An "ecosystem" approach is needed

In our region, zip code more robustly predicts childhood obesity than education
level, income, or genetics.
Property values are the best predictor of general obesity rates, too.

101. KeyTakeaways
+ Chronic disease rates and risk factors are on par with
national averages for much of the region
+ These rates compare favorably to Iowa and Nebraska
statewide averages
+ Statistically significant disparities exist between geographic
and demographic markers of community (i.e.
urban/rural/suburban areas, race and ethnicity, etc.) within
the region
102. Chronic Disease Impacts
On Health Care Economics
+ Chronic disease burdens our current health care system by
producing
+ The most ED visits
+ The most physician visits
+ The most readmissions
+ The most post-acute care
+ The highest cost
+ The 14% of Medicare beneficiaries with 6+ chronic conditions
account for almost half of all Medicare spending and 70% of
readmissions
105. Implications for Health Care System
* Source: CQuence Health Group
+ US spends more on healthcare than any other country
+ More cost per capita
+ A higher percentage of GDP
+ The US spends more per hospital discharge than any other
country by $4,500
Ballooning Spending
106. Convergent Challenges
Human Capital Shortages
+ Demographics are going to drive the need for more health workers
+ A new Medicare Enrollee every 8 seconds
+ Program will grow from 47 millionin 2010 to 80 millionin 2020
+ Medicaid expansion and marketplaces (exchanges) will add another
29 millionby 2019
+ Health Career shortages
+ The existing physician shortage will only get worse with the biggest
need in primary care
+ The nursing workforce has fluctuated between shortage and surplus
between 2005 and 2010 and will fall back to shortage
+ Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) employs more mid-level
providers (PA, NP) to cover primary care needs
+ Alternative Programs to support
+ Growth of programs like non-medical home care have helped easy
the nursing need in home care
+ But there must be consideration given to other needed workers like
EMS and post-acute facilities
107. Overall Takeaways
+ Chronic diseases will determine the financial sustainability
of the nation’s – and region’s – health care system
+ Chronic diseases have risk factors that are largely
environmentally conditioned
+ Our region will likely experience greatly increased demand
for and cost of health care due to convergence of
demographic trends and chronic diseases caused by
environmental factors
+ We are simultaneously faced with a current and projected
shortage of health care workers in critical clinical areas
