Some of the stories of those living in the dilapidated, crowded and unsafe trailers in Immokalee are hard to believe.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) was there at the founding of IFHA and the organization is still supporting us to this day.

Arol Buntzman, chair of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, announced that the alliance has received a $1 million donation from the NoVo Foundation to help build a safe, affordable apartment rental community in Immokalee for farmworker and other low-income families.

Hurricane Irma made landfall on the southwestern coast of Florida in September 2017, damaging million-dollar homes in beachfront communities from Marco Island to Naples.

After careers as high-powered attorneys in Washington D.C., Naples residents Roni Haggart and Chuck Work have chosen the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance as a favorite charity.

We are often asked who will be living in our IFHA community. We usually answer in generalities, but recently at a reception at Arthrex, a family of five hoping to rent one of our units joined us and spoke passionately about the need.
