Fox4 News: New affordable housing complex proposed for Immokalee

IMMOKALEE — A proposed housing project in Immokalee would provide 128 affordable apartments to farm workers.

On Monday, the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, which is planning the development, received a $2,500 grant from the Community Foundation of Collier County to help the idea become a reality. It joins nine other organizations, and more than 100 individual donors, in supporting the project.

Arol Buntzman is the co-founder of the Alliance. He said used to be a farm worker himself, and he knows first-hand what the housing conditions can be like.
