Dennis Hoffman has served as the President and CEO of Family Service Lincoln since June 2017. He brought to the organization a strong background in program quality, service to vulnerable populations, and deep community connections.

Under Hoffman’s leadership, Family Service Lincoln has experienced significant growth and program expansion, including the launch of new initiatives that support the health and basic needs of families. Prior to joining Family Service, Hoffman served as Chief Program Officer at CenterPointe, where he was responsible for the development and oversight of housing and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness. He has also played a leadership role within Lincoln’s Continuum of Care.

Hoffman will present a new mixed-use development project for Family Service Lincoln, set to open this summer, called FiftyOne Commons. Located in northeast Lincoln, FiftyOne Commons includes eight affordable rowhouse rental units, a youth STEAM Activity Center, and a Community Crops garden.

FiftyOne Commons will add a seventh program area to Family Service Lincoln, an organization founded in 1891 as Lincoln, Nebraska’s first charitable organization. This development expands much-needed services for families, complementing existing programs that provide case management, housing support, behavioral health therapy, expanded learning opportunities, and nutrition and food programs to thousands of households each year.
