Austin Tiny House Village for the Homeless Set to Expand

It was announced this week that Alan Graham, the CEO of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, a nonprofit group, plans to raise $60 million in donations to expand Community First! Village, a "tiny house" community in Austin, Texas, that provides permanent and affordable ($225 rent per month) housing for chronically homeless people. The existing 27-acre village opened in 2015 and will reach its 200-person capacity in 2018. The nonprofit has already purchased an additional 24 adjacent acres on which another 350 homes will be constructed.
