a community FOR our displaced neighbors

OUR VISION

Our vision is to build a community for our displaced neighbors in Mobile  County on 7.25 acres of land in Semmes, Alabama. Our community will include a community center and a combination of residential houses and havens. 

A project like this takes a vast network of support: Volunteers, project managers, skilled builders, partners, and generous donors. 

Residential Housing Funding: Our fundraising goal is to secure approximately TWO MILLION DOLLARS to build our community center and twelve residential houses on seven 1-acre lots on our Eunice Drive Estates property. Each 4-bedroom, 2-bath house will sit on approximately 1/2 acre of land.

Phase One of our plan, work-in-progress, is to build our community center where future neighbors, those residents living in Eunice Drive Estates in houses or havens, and our service providers and volunteers can congregate and cultivate our "forged family."

We are actively seeking assistance from foundations, charitable organizations, local businesses, and individuals.  

Our Driftwood Haven Funding Program helps us to secure the funds for building haven cabins for housing our displaced neighbors. Our havens will be parked on land made available through our network of landowner partnerships and scattered throughout our Eunice Drive Estates property. 

Our haven funding program began in February 2022. When a Driftwood Haven is built, the donor’s name or names will be inscribed on a plaque that will be permanently secured on the outside of the haven. 

So, how can I/we make our payment to fund a Driftwood Haven?  

Donors can issue a check in the amount of $10,000.00 (ten thousand dollars), made payable to Driftwood Housing. 

Mail check to Driftwood Housing, P. O. Box 41176, Mobile, AL 36640. 

Driftwood Housing will send donors a tax-deductible receipt.

There's much, much more...

In addition to our community center, residential housing, and havens, our community will include agricultural spaces, an outdoor canning kitchen, an amphitheater, walking trails, a store, a food pantry, and a stocked fish pond. We have established partnerships for other nonprofit organizations who will provide compensation for work-training, food, transportation, and medical care. 

"Intentional neighbors" will live in our community to provide on-site care for the members in our 24-month transitional housing community.
