Alan Graham, founder and CEO of
Mobile Loaves & Fishes, is fond of calling the social outreach ministry s supportive housing development,
Community First! Village, Austin s most talked-about neighborhood. That slogan will someday evolve to the plural neighborhoods to reflect the organization s most significant expansion yet to house Austin s formerly chronically homeless neighbors.
Earlier this month, MLF announced the next two phases of Community First! that will add an additional 1,400 homes at two sites. Phase 3 will be located on 51 acres near the current village (also 51 acres) on Hog Eye Road in far Northeast Austin; phase 4 will be 10 miles to the south at a 76-acre site on Burleson Road between McKinney Falls Parkway and U.S. 183. Construction on both sites is expected to begin in the summer of 2022, said Graham, and it s MLF s hope that both phases will be built concurrently.
