One of my ongoing concerns for Immokalee is to eliminate substandard housing for migrant workers and we have worked with the Health Department for several years to deal with non-compliant housing structures.
Here is the Spring 2008 report:
Source: Collier County Health Department, Status as of March 31, 2008:
The Collier County Health Department’s Migrant Housing Program during the third quarter of the fiscal year has eliminated or replaced an additional 6 units of the initially estimated 360 units previously identified as substandard in the County. Those units had a total capacity of 38 beds.
The 6 units eliminated or upgraded brings the total number of units eliminated up to 315 units or 87% of the original units identified as needing replacement.
