Crazy Shit In Real Estate

Homelessness isn’t just about lacking a roof, it’s about losing connection, dignity, and community. In this episode, Kent Redding shares the powerful story of Community First Village, a privately funded neighborhood in Austin, TX, that’s redefining how we care for our neighbors on the margins. With tiny homes, job training, mental health services, and deep personal relationships, it’s a model rooted in love and built to last. Listen now to learn how you can be part of the solution!

Key takeaways to listen for

  • Why homelessness is more about the loss of community than the lack of shelter
  • How Community First Village provides sustainable housing without government funding
  • The dignity-driven design behind rent, job training, and personal responsibility
  • Why volunteer engagement and one-on-one relationships are the secret sauce
  • How REALTORS® and small businesses can replicate this model anywhere
