🏠OurCalling, which has historically been a provider of services only, is in the fundraising stage for the largest capital investment of housing for people experiencing homelessness North Texas has ever seen.
The $50 million project, once complete, will add 500 homes for people without them.
A project years in the making, OurCommunity, as it’s called, will create not just homes, CEO Wayne Walker argues it will be a tiny-home village with wraparound services unlike just about any other permanent housing solution anywhere in the U.S.
Walker and his team spent years researching over 40 different tiny-home communities nationwide. They’ve yet to find any with the level of support services OurCommunity intends to provide.
This story is part of our focus on solutions put forward to tackle big and small social problems in our communities. Our evidence-based reporting explores challenges in Texas and looks for examples set by people trying to find answers that help.
