An Inspiring Film about a Community-based Project to House the Homeless
12 March 2019
Community First, A Home for the Homeless, was enthusiastically received at its world premiere at Austin's SXSW. In Austin, Mobile Loaves & Fishes is a universally beloved project. Their work in support on behalf of meek and the suffering is truly God's work. This short film explains their beautiful Community First project which seeks not only the house the chronically homeless and disabled, but provide them with what they are truly missing - a loving and sustainable community. The President says that we have a national emergency at the border; we have a national emergency in the streets of America every night that a homeless person goes unsheltered. Community First is addressing that crisis every day that it takes in a chronically homeless individual. The picture that they are presenting is perhaps a little sugar-coated, but if we ever needed a little sugar-coating, this inspiring project certainly deserves it. Most importantly, the film deconstructs our stereotypes of the chronically homeless and shows how with a little TLC they can becoming functional and contributing members of society.
