Community: Immokalee
Immokalee is a small, rural community about 40 miles east of the affluent Naples and Marco Island communities. The year-round population of approximately 24,000 is largely Latino (81%). One of every four jobs is in agriculture with Immokalee providing fresh fruits and vegetables to much of the country. Many workers are migrants who struggle to find temporary housing. Others are year-round workers who face the challenge of affording safe, decent housing.
The Esperanza PUD provided Rural Neighborhoods a unique opportunity to develop the 30-acre site with multiple partners and uses. Initiated in 2006, the site was originally planned for rental and homeownership housing. Other partners were later added bringing a domestic violence shelter and a community center to serve the surrounding neighborhoods.
