Mobile Loaves and Fishes Community First Village is a 51-acre development in northeast Travis County for people transitioning out of homelessness.
The nonprofit that runs Austin s Community First Village has acquired land and plans to build out more tiny homes to house Austinites transitioning out of homelessness.
The far East Austin development of tiny homes and trailers, managed by Mobile Loaves and Fishes, currently houses 221 formerly chronically homeless Austinites. The expansion could add space for at least 1,400 additional tiny homes.
At an announcement Wednesday, MLF s founder Alan Graham said the nonprofit secured 127 additional acres for two new sites one that will expand the current site off Hog Eye Road and another that will host a new village off Burleson Road in Southeast Austin. All told, the expansion, which is set to begin construction next summer, would more than triple the footprint of Community First from 51 acres to 178.

AUSTIN, Texas On Wednesday, Mobile Loaves and Fishes held a press conference announcing big steps in its Ten Year Plan to Mitigate Homelessness in Austin – a major expansion at its Community First! Village.
The village is a 51-acre, master-planned development in northeast Travis County designed for men and women who are coming out of chronic homelessness.
A picture-perfect life is what most of us want, but it s something that seemed out of reach for Ute Dittemer and her husband after losing their jobs during the economic bust of 2008.
Austin nonprofit organization Mobile Loaves & Fishes will break ground in summer 2022 on two new phases of its Community First Village that are expected to nearly quadruple the number of homes in this neighborhood designed to house people who have been chronically homeless.
The next two phases will add 1,400 homes to the more than 500 homes in the first two phases.
The third phase will be built on 51 acres of land across the street from the original 51 acres on Hog Eye Road in East Austin. The fourth phase will add 76 acres on a new area of land off Burleson Road between U.S. 183 and McKinney Falls Parkway in Southeast Austin and is on a bus route.
