It was difficult to find rental housing and many reportedly resort to substandard housing or multiple families renting one unit. Many farmworkers rent from their employers, most are not legal residents; however, 47% of the farmworkers do not rent from their employer. Family income for the subject project will range from $14,160 - $30,400 (in 2003). Although there are no apartments in Fellsmere, there is another farmworker rental complex of 71 units planned in town to be financed by Rural Development (HUD Section 514/516 developments). These units will be available to a lower income population and will have a broader definition for “farmworker.” There is an estimated 229 legal farmworker households in Indian River County and a supply of farmworker housing (including those that are proposed) totaling 335 units.
