Updates on Love First

Love First Campus officially broke ground in December 2025, marking a transformational step forward in addressing family homelessness in Denton County. The Family Shelter, anticipated to be completed by Thanksgiving 2026, will include 20 housing units with 80 beds, dedicated to serving homeless mothers and children in a safe, supportive, and healing environment. The entire Cornerstone Phase represents a $14.6 million investment in long-term community impact and is already 74% funded, demonstrating strong community confidence and strategic financial planning.

Funding for this phase includes first-year operational costs, ensuring the shelter launches with the staffing, programming, and support services necessary for successful operation. In addition, existing transitional housing and hotel grant funding streams will help sustain and support ongoing operational costs in future years, creating a strong foundation for long-term sustainability. Through careful planning, diversified funding strategies, and centralized operations, Love First Campus is positioned not only to open successfully but to continue serving families effectively for years to come.

Why a Love First Campus

Love First Campus is a transformative community designed to move families from homelessness to healthy, stable living through housing, life skills development, and compassionate community connection, while centralizing our operations to work more effectively and consistently with families in a single supportive environment.

By bringing services together in one location, the campus helps break down barriers to transportation, childcare, and access to essential resources, allowing families to receive support more efficiently and progress toward stability faster than through scattered-site services spread across multiple locations. Centralizing services also fosters meaningful community connections among families, staff, and support systems, creating a strong sense of belonging and encouragement that is essential for long-term healing, stability, and success.
