Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustinACC - Austin is partnering with Mobile Loaves & Fishes to assist formerly homeless residents of Austin on their way to gaining permanent housing.
Mobile Loaves & Fishes runs Community First! Village and ACC - Austin members will assist Mobile Loaves & Fishes with outdoor projects like working in the community gardens, landscaping throughout the community, or helping with other kinds of property beautification.
Community First! Village is a master planned neighborhood that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women who are coming out of chronic homelessness. It is currently home to more than 370 (soon to be 500) formerly homeless residents. The Village has been intentionally designed to encourage community. Each home has a front porch, and homes are clustered around common areas with laundry rooms, restroom and shower facilities, outdoor community kitchens and green space. These shared areas encourage interactions among neighbors, helping them form relationships and build community.
The day will start with a brief orientation about Community First! Village and wrap up with a 30-minute walking tour of the Community First! Village.
