A Message from the Chairman 

On this day of love, I invite you to join us in a few weeks when we celebrate the people whose hearts build homes. Our Wall Raising Event is a signature moment for our organization because we are literally raising walls against substandard housing! 

I hope you attend this inaugural event on Wednesday, March 1, at 10:30 a.m. We will commemorate this milestone in our mission’s history with a wall-signing celebration.

Taking place at the location of our first building on Lake Trafford Road, come witness the construction of hope and security for those in our community. Together, we are improving the quality of life for low-income workers and their families in Immokalee. 



With the construction of our first unit underway, we are continuing to raise funds to build more affordable and sustainable rental housing. On behalf of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance, I thank you for your ongoing support and generosity. Your heart is building safe homes! 

In The News: The News-Press

Did you see the news? The Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance’s mission and progress in building affordable, sustainable homes were recently recognized. Chairman Arol Buntzman shared the heart and motivation for our organization’s mission and the future development of an affordable rental community for farmworker families and other low-income residents in Immokalee. 

Donor Spotlight: Jane Chittick

The families of Immokalee have had a special place in Jane’s heart since she first visited the community. 

“Those of us who have taken that journey come back to Venice appalled by the living conditions suffered by the farmworkers,” said Jane. And she has been an outstanding champion for the community, forming the Immokalee Farmworkers Support Ministry Group at Venice United Church of Christ. 

Donor Spotlight: Danny Gonzalez

Danny tells everyone he knows, “The Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance is the best thing to happen in Immokalee in a long, long time.” 



Growing up in a family of farmworkers and moving around the eastern United States, Danny understands the challenges migrants face. Now as the owner of Lozano’s Mexican Restaurant and the Chairman of the Immokalee Eastern Chamber of Commerce, Danny is proud to share the great work of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance with the rest of our community. 

Meet The Team: AJ Attavar

AJ was astonished by the living conditions in Immokalee, especially considering that Collier County is one of the wealthiest communities in the country. 

As AJ learned more, he felt Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance was “doing what others couldn’t do” and wanted to be involved. In January 2023, AJ officially brought his enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit to our organization by accepting an invitation to join our Board.
