About Us
Driftwood Village (Concept Art by local artist Lauren Starr)
We are a growing group of concerned citizens on the Gulf Coast who care for our unsheltered neighbors. Our mission is to provide affordable housing for the chronically homeless where they will receive services in a safe environment.
We celebrated our second anniversary on February 9th, 2024. In that time-frame, we secured 8-acres of land for building a tiny home village. This property was donated to us by the Julien Marx Foundation Trust. We also built our first tiny house. On phase one of this project, we are applying to foundations for infrastructure capital to gravel roads, drill a well, install a sewage system, and establish our electrical grid.
Phase one, when completed, will include 1 custom designed residential Driftwood Home and 5 Driftwood Havens (no plumbing) with access to a shared facility with bathrooms, showers, a laundry room, a food pantry, a mail room, an outdoor kitchen, and office space for service providers. Handicapped neighbors will be accommodated in houses.
Our goal is to build these homes in a campus-style community with the help of volunteers and student groups. One of our end-game goals is to provide an opportunity for volunteerism that results in a sense of service to our community and to mankind.
Mobile Homeless Outreach
It is our pleasure to help our great City in any way that we can to give displaced neighbors in Mobile a hand up. In cooperation with the city of Mobile and other homeless services, such as Veteran's Recovery, we can make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors that are living outside and in danger. By building housing and shelters, we can provide a needed service to Mobile and communities along the Gulf Coast.
Founders: Dale and Reba Pfeiffer
To raise public awareness about the need for Driftwood Village, volunteers hep Dale and Reba spread our message at the LoDa Art Walk on the 2nd Friday each month.
