Home is where the heart is
Shamwari Village will be an innovative and successful model for transforming the lives of homeless female veterans and young women challenged by extreme anxiety, depression and addiction. Amenities will include a health center, playgrounds for children, places such as parks and a chapel for study and shared fellowship and furnished micro-homes providing comfortable and affordable independent living areas supported by common amenities such as walking trails and an amphitheater for Friday night movies. Our concept is anchored around community kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. The village is designed to promote healing and independence.
Shamwari will be built in two phases.
Phase I:
Shamwari plans to lead an unprecedented collaborative effort to mitigate female veteran homelessness in the state of Texas. This transformative village will exist to care for and serve our female veterans who are in a state of chronic homelessness due to personal challenges who yearn for a new beginning, a place to call home until they are ready to reintegrate into society. Phase I of the Village will cover 30 acres and includes 60 homes.

-
Five Laundry/Restroom/Shower Facilities
