Community First

Welcome to the highly acclaimed neighborhood of Austin, Texas that everyone is talking about! Community First! Village is a meticulously planned community spanning 51 acres, dedicated to providing affordable, permanent housing and a supportive environment for individuals who have experienced chronic homelessness. Developed by Mobile Loaves & Fishes, this life-changing residential program is designed to show love and compassion to our neighbors who have been living on the streets, while also inspiring the surrounding community to embrace a lifestyle of service towards the homeless.
