Welcome
Our Vision
At The Actor’s Village, we are committed to fostering compassion for the unhoused actor and improving tomorrow for entertainers of the arts, the LGBTQIA+ community and those performers with mild cognitive disabilities. The Actor’s Village will strive to remove some of the housing stressors and information overload that come along with pursuing a dream of working full-time in the entertainment and arts industry. We offer a community that promotes self respect, independence, and improves the quality of life for all of our residents.
