Community First Village

At Community First! Village, we are building community within community—and this happens through intentionality. With our Neighborhoods of Knowingness, Mobile Loaves & Fishes is creating spaces where our Missional neighbors—men and women who are not formerly homeless but choose to live and serve in the Village as part of their mission field—can live alongside neighbors who are transitioning from life on the streets. With a mix of home models, including family homes, arranged in pockets of 40–50 homes around shared gathering spaces, these neighborhoods are designed for presence and relationships.

This is more than thoughtful architecture—it is a daily commitment to know and to be known; to share meals, build friendships and walk with one another in community. As the Village continues to grow, we are inviting the greater Austin community to partner with us—helping shape neighborhoods rooted in belonging and connection.
