Really Big News About the Village & KLRU Airs the Film Again!

Community First! Village is growing! Yesterday, April 14, Mobile Loaves & Fishes announced that Phases III & IV of the Village will break ground in the summer of 2022, adding a combined 127 acres and 1,400 new homes. The expansion grows the total size of Community First! Village to 178 acres, more than triple the current size of the development, on which 1,900 micro-homes will exist for men and women who are coming out of chronic homelessness, along with those who provide support and care for them. I am overjoyed by this development!  What a game changer this is. Community First! Village is truly the model for transforming the lives of our homeless brothers and sisters.

Ever since Community First, A Home for the Homeless started airing on PBS in February, we have had a great response from across the country.  And again, after the hundreds of broadcasts on the World Channel in April.  Based on the feedback, I am so encouraged that there will be a multitude of Community First! Villages popping up around the nation. Nothing would make me happier!

WITF in Harrisburg, PA will premiere Community First, A Home for the Homeless on Sunday,  April 18th at 3:00 pm. 

Austin’s KLRU will air the documentary for the second time on Monday, April 26 at 8:00pm.  Both broadcasts have been in great time slots.  Thanks KLRU!
