Habitat on Wheels

Mobile Loaves and Fishes has recently started a program called Habitat on Wheels. This program supplies homeless and working-poor Austinites with gently-used trailer homes for very reasonable rental rates. This weekend the organization is presenting a renovated mobile home to Elalein Hathaway, a 63-year-old single homeless woman whose husband died in service in Vietnam.

Mobile Loaves and Fishes is currently seeking land in Austin to develop its own trailer park community for this program, and is also in need of more volunteers to help out. Visit the Habitat on Wheels site for more information.
