The issue:

You see them every day, standing on the street corner, sleeping under the overpass or hiding in the woods. We have been seeking to better understand who our homeless neighbors are and what we can do as a community to help those in real need. Through this process, we have learned that homelessness is not always caused by bad luck or a series of poor life choices, but additionally the significant loss of family and community connection is a major contributing factor that not only lands our neighbors on the streets but often keeps them there for many years. Denton area neighbors, we can be a community that cares enough to provide our homeless neighbors with a home and the support they need as they restore their lives.

Community Forever Village is a 73-acre master-planned community in Denton County, Texas that will serve the formerly chronically homeless. Using a proven approach, Community Forever Village aims to cultivate community and empower its residents to discover a life of belonging and dignity while providing permanent, alternative, supportive housing for those men and women suffering chronic homelessness in our community. 

We have secured land and submitted our application to the city of Denton requesting approval for a planned development. The village development plan includes 350 micro homes and an extraordinarily broad spectrum of services for community residents, including on-site missionals living alongside our neighbors, a community market, community center, and communal kitchens and laundry facilities, just to name a few.  

Progress is happening but we need your help now! Join us as we work to help our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness make their way home, find dignified work, and most importantly, get connected to a supportive community. Denton, Texas is a compassionate and caring community. Let’s come together now to help our vulnerable neighbors who need us most! 

We need your prayers, your time, and your treasure to build Community Forever Village into a place of home and belonging for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
