Village—where a revolution in goodness is taking place. It’s time to relax in one of the coziest and coolest tiny home vacation rentals you’ve ever seen.

Community First! Village Tour

A development of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Community First! Village in Austin, TX is a 51-acre master planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing for formerly homeless men and women. The Community Inn is located on site at the Village and provides guests with a unique glimpse into this transformative tiny home community that exists to love and serve our neighbors who are rediscovering hope and healing from the ravages of the streets. Inn guests are welcome to volunteer at Community First! during their stay and be a direct part of all the goodness happening at this one-of-a-kind destination.

Founded in 1998, Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF) is a social outreach nonprofit that empowers communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless. Widely known throughout Central Texas for its compassionate service to the area’s homeless community, MLF’s food truck ministry has delivered more than 5 million meals to men and women living on the streets. MLF’s innovative Community First! Village has become the largest community-based model in the country lifting homeless men and women up off the streets into community and home.
