Michael House on the Brink | Omaha News

The Michael House, a vital shelter for 20 men, stands on the brink after losing all staff due to a funding collapse — leaving residents like Jacob Fritz, who’s been there since June, in limbo. Administrator Melissa Jaurdiqui reveals past resident missteps triggered insurance and funding issues, forcing her to deliver devastating news while racing to find private insurance, probation programs, or nonprofit aid to keep doors open. Though residents can stay temporarily, they’ve lost critical job-placement support that’s been their lifeline. With operational costs running into the thousands, Jaurdiqui is urgently asking for donations — send checks to 6607 Maple St, Omaha, NE 68104 — to either sustain the house or help men transition safely.
