The US Department of Housing of Urban Development (HUD) with support from the Latino Community Network of Manatee County, commissioned a needs assessment of Manatee's farmworker communities. Although the primary focus of the survey was housing, the project took a holistic approach to assessing the needs of the farmworker communities by seeking information on social, education, and environmental issues. HUD understands, as do farmworker advocates, that although safe, decent and affordable housing provide the cornerstone for a vibrant community, it is only the first step in addressing the needs of this very underserved population.
