Nonprofit Mobile Loaves & Fishes is marking the 10th anniversary of its landmark Community First! Village, the master-planned community for residents exiting homelessness that's now expanding in Northeast and Southeast Austin.

The Northeast Austin village includes scores of tiny homes alongside shared features like community centers, a clinic, kitchens, gardens and parks, an amphitheater and a chapel. MLF is now marking the opening of another property covering 51 acres across the street from the existing site. The expansion houses the nonprofit's new headquarters and room to grow to 600 total microhomes as funding comes in.

During the community's 10th anniversary summit event in October, MLF representatives highlighted the lower cost of housing and caring for residents there versus other public homelessness programs. They also said Community First! residents have higher life expectancies, and reduced alcohol and drug consumption.

The ongoing expansion comes as a new Community First! property is also being developed in Southeast Austin, alongside a low-income housing complex from nonprofit Foundation Communities.
