In this episode of The Important Podcast, we’ll learn from Amber Fogarty, the Chief Goodness Officer at Mobile Loaves and Fishes, about how they serve the homeless in Austin Texas.
On the surface, you might think that housing would solve homelessness. However, it’s not that simple. A village on the outskirts of Austin, Texas was founded with the belief that the community will solve homelessness. This ‘Community First Village’ currently houses 200 paying tenants who are no longer chronically homeless; they will house 1,000 formerly homeless tenants in the next 10 years, which would reduce the Austin homeless population by half.
