People Focused. Housing First.
The “New Beginnings Community” initiative is designed to be a self-managed Bridge Housing community for people in need of shelter.
This is a “Housing First” approach to quickly and successfully connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness to permanent housing with few preconditions and barriers.

Current Status
Currently, the New Beginnings Community Initiative is in the Construction phase. Read our latest update!
New Beginning: A Bridge to Home
It’s not just a new beginning for the individuals, but a new beginning for the community. WE need a new beginning, a new imagination about what life is worth and what our community is missing out on because some of our neighbors are not being included due to a lack of proper housing.
All donations will go towards ongoing maintenance of the facilities, as well as in-house workshops and resources directed towards re-housing opportunities. Donations are tax-deductible.
Let’s Make New Beginnings Feel Like Home
We want to create a space where our residents can not only find rest but also where they can feel confident in working towards their housing goals. We are looking for 20-25 of EACH item to complete our goal before welcoming our first round of tenants. Individual donations are welcomed, or gather your family, community group, or business team and sponsor one shelter’s furnishings!
Examples of furnishings include:
– welcome mats
– sheets, blankets, and pillows
– decor (wall art — nature themed for the Community Center, rugs, houseplants, desk lamp, calendar, clock)
– hygiene care package (towels, washcloths, soap, shampoo, brush, toothbrush, toothpaste)
– pet care supplies
– broom & cleaning supplies
If you would like to donate furnishings, just send us an email letting us know what you’re donating and we can coordinate a time for one of our team members to pick it up from you!
Working with Northwest Arkansas to End Homelessness
A growing number of towns and cities across the U.S. have found a practical solution to homelessness through the construction of micro-shelter communities. Today these solutions are being proven effective initiatives to provide a housing first solution that will transition persons into permanent, stable housing solutions.
