In New Braunfels, homelessness rarely matches the images we see on the news. It doesn’t always look like crowded downtown sidewalks, it’s built to stay hidden.

It looks like working seniors sleeping in their cars in parking lots, young families squeezed into overcrowded spare rooms, and neighbors living in tents tucked along the Guadalupe and Comal rivers.

When housing crisis is invisible, it’s easy to assume it isn’t happening here. But our neighbors are struggling right in our own backyard. Bringing this crisis into the light is the first step toward building real solutions. 💚

For many, home is a place of safety and rest. But for survivors of domestic violence, home can be the most dangerous place of all.

Domestic violence is one of the leading causes of homelessness for women. Choosing to leave an unsafe environment often means leaving behind financial security, shelter, and everything familiar, all in a single moment.

During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we stand with survivors as they navigate the incredibly difficult journey toward safety, healing, and independence. Rebuilding a life takes immense courage, and access to safe, stable housing is the foundation where that healing begins. ❤️‍🩹

If you or someone you know is navigating an unsafe situation, you are not alone. Resources and confidential support are available. National Domestic Violence Hotline: Call 1-800-799-SAFE or text ""START"" to 88788

Our community is sustained by steady, quiet consistency. 🩵

A huge thank you to Carl Martin and his friends and family for showing up for First Footing time after time. Whether they’re serving meals or simply sitting down to share a conversation with our participants, their regular presence brings a sense of reliability and warmth that our neighbors can count on.

Choosing to make community care a routine habit is what creates real stability. We are so grateful for your ongoing dedication to New Braunfels!

Did you know today is World Homeless Day and World Mental Health Day?

It’s no coincidence they fall on the very same date.

When you are forced to sleep in a parking lot, on cold concrete, or in an unsafe space, your mind is trapped in constant survival mode. Anxiety, trauma, and exhaustion take over. True mental healing cannot begin until basic safety is restored, because housing IS mental healthcare.

At First Footing, we don't just offer a temporary roof. We provide a safe, dignified space where local neighbors in New Braunfels can rest, breathe, and begin rebuilding their lives from the inside out. 💚

National homelessness dropped by 3.3%, a hopeful sign, but over 745,000 people nationwide remain unhoused.

Here in our own backyard, the need remains urgent. In 2025 alone, 509 local neighbors turned to us for shelter help.

Thanks to community support, our shelter expanded to host up to 66 people at a time. But with our local waitlist climbing as high as 95 people this year, national statistics don't shelter local families, community action does.

National progress only happens when local towns step up to care for their own. 💚

Want to help us expand our shelter capacity and shorten our local waitlist? Visit https://nbhousingpartners.org/join-us/ to get involved.

We know it can feel like a lot.

If you follow us, you see us ask for donations again and again. But the truth? We ask constantly because the need never pauses.

Swipe through to see what happens in New Braunfels when the safety net isn't there.

We share because every single ask represents a real neighbor who needs a safe place to sleep tonight. First Footing only exists because you choose to care.
Thank you for understanding why we ask, and for standing with us every day.💚

Because of you, someone in New Braunfels is getting the help they need to rebuild their life.💚

The Big Give is over, but the impact you just made will help First Footing for months to come. Because you donated, shared, and cared, we contine to help our neighbors in need. Beds will be slept in. Meals will be eaten. Lives will be rebuilt from the ground up.

Thank you for proving that our neighbors facing homelessness are not invisible. Thank you for standing with us.

Overcoming addiction or health challenges without a bed to sleep in is nearly impossible. Just imagine trying to heal, work, or make good decisions when you’re exhausted, stressed, and unsafe.

This National Recovery Month, we know real healing starts with basic stability. A safe environment and a supportive community give local neighbors the foundation they need to focus on rebuilding their health. 💜

When our neighbors heal, our entire community becomes safer, stronger, and more resilient.

Recovery happens together.
