October 28-29 | Alex Haley Farm
The 2020 Rural Homeless Conference is the nation’s only dedicated rural convening of service providers, leaders, advocates, and consumers working to end homelessness in the United States.
There are other challenges that continue to fuel the problems that create homelessness and a scarcity of affordable homes. Families are being displaced and tenants are being evicted at a rate that exceeds the number and availability of homes. Health and societal costs of the burgeoning number of people without homes is bringing corporations and the health sector to the table around the importance of housing as a public good.

“ ….a delicate and lovingly rendered documentary, giving a voice to the voiceless and a spotlight to a worthy and indispensable cause.” -Robert Daniels, 812 Film Reviews
Community First, A Home for the Homeless, is a documentary introducing an innovative new approach to transforming the lives of homeless people through the power of community. The film tells the story of leaders and residents at Community First! Village, a 27 acre, mastered planned development providing affordable, permanent housing for hundreds of chronically homeless people in Austin, Texas. As the founder Alan Graham explains, “housing will never solve homelessness but community will”. Twenty percent of the residents at the Village have never been homeless but choose to live there as support. The Village also offers a variety of micro enterprises providing the residents an opportunity to make a dignified income.
Community First, A Home for the Homeless illustrates how the sense of community at the core of the Village is transforming the lives of our homeless brothers and sisters.It’s beauty lies in the fact that it really brings to life the concept behind the Village in a way that other media cannot. It’s truly a new model! Visit the film’s website here.
The film had it’s World Premiere at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival.
