Hope Has an Address - and it Starts With You.
Every day in Denton County, men and women live without shelter, safety, or connection. They're not just experiencing homelessness, they're experiencing the loss of family, community, and dignity.
You can help change that.
At Community Forever Village, we believe that when we restore community, we restore lives.
Our Proven Path to Transformation:
🧡LIFE SAVING
Immediate safety and stability through permanent supportive housing.
🧡LIFE SUSTAINING
Patient love, hope, and personal connection help each person to stability and ownership of their journey.
🧡LIFE GROWTH
Dignified income opportunities and wraparound services foster healing, purpose, and self-reliance.
🧡LIFE TRANSFORMATION
Through community and heart-to-heart connection, spiritual renewal beings, and lives are forever changed.
We are building a 70-acre master-planned village with 350 microhomes and comprehensive on-site services, a place where our chronically homeless neighbors can belong, contribute, and thrive.
✅ Land secured
✅ Development application submitted

We take no government funding — just faith, community, and action.

Mission
Community Forever Village provides permanent housing, cultivates community, and promotes belonging and dignity for the chronically homeless.
What sets us apart is our approach: a grassroots movement led by compassionate individuals, business leaders, and volunteers who believe hope has an address—and we're building it together.
Our comprehensive, relationship-based model goes beyond housing. We empower our neighbors with:
A place to call home
Dignified work opportunities
A supportive community of care
Opportunities for growth, service, and spiritual renewal
We aim to create a sustainable village that not only transforms lives in Denton County but inspires similar communities across the country and the world.
Together, we can address the root causes of homelessness—offering unconditional love and support to those in greatest need and enriching our broader community in the process.
Join us. Because when one neighbor finds home, we all grow stronger.
Needs
💡 Our Current Need: Help Us Cross the Finish Line
We’re closer than ever to making Community Forever Village a reality—but right now, we need your help to carry us across the finish line with the City of Denton.
We’re working closely with consultants and city officials to complete our development plan so we can break ground this year. Your financial support now ensures we keep moving forward without delay.
🏠 Transforming the 1988 House: Our Future Administrative Hub
We also need your help to renovate the 1988 House, an existing structure on the property that will become our first administrative building. This space will allow us to:
Host meetings with donors and volunteers right on the land that will soon become a thriving village.
Share the vision of hope, dignity, and belonging where it matters most—on-site.
Reach an important first milestone in making Community Forever Village come to life.
This transformation is more than a facelift—it’s the launchpad for everything that comes next. And it’s only possible through the support of generous partners like you.
Will you help us break ground—both figuratively and literally—in 2025?
Now is the time to give. Let’s build something beautiful together.
