The safety of our families

Improving our neighborhoods

Supporting small businesses
She is demonstrating her work in these areas right now through the organizations she’s founded Global Leadership Group Omaha, The North 24th Street BID Association and the commercial properties that she’s restored.
Drive down North 24th Street and you can see her work.
-
Homicides are down by 50% in the BID area year over year since 2021
-
LaVonya works to keep families safe in their homes by helping to draft and support the Disorderly Premises Ordinance
-
Global Leadership Group hosts 8 cleanups a year and partners with the BID 3xs a year to provide free dumpsters, because cleaner neighborhoods result in safer neighborhoods, contributing to better mental health
