FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CATHOLIC CHARITIES OFFERS IMMEDIATE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES, VETERANS, SENIORS, AND FARMWORKERS ACROSS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
Sarasota, FL – May 29, 2025 – Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice, Inc., is pleased to announce the availability of affordable housing units across several Southwest Florida communities. These include single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes in Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and Englewood, as well as veteran housing in Sarasota County and designated senior and farmworker housing in Arcadia.
All units are offered at below-market rental rates and are designed to provide a safe and stable environment for individuals and families in need. Some units are available for as low as $950 per month, making them ideal for working families and individuals rebuilding their lives. Catholic Charities encourages all eligible applicants to apply, as availability is limited.
“We understand the pressures facing so many in our community—from rising housing costs to economic uncertainty,” said Christopher Root, CEO of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Venice. “Through these housing programs, we are working to restore stability and dignity to those who need it most, while ensuring that essential members of our community, including veterans, seniors, and farmworkers, are not left behind.”
Housing for Families
Affordable housing is available for working families and individuals who are seeking a clean, safe, and supportive environment. Units are ideal for parents with children, single professionals, and those working locally who may be facing housing insecurity due to rising rent costs. Some income restrictions do apply, in accordance with program guidelines, but many moderate-income households may qualify.
Veteran Housing in Sarasota County
Catholic Charities is honored to support the brave men and women who have served our country by offering designated housing units exclusively for veterans in Sarasota County. Veterans seeking housing through this program must provide proof of military service at the time of application.
Farmworker and Senior Housing in Arcadia
Affordable housing is available in Arcadia for individuals and families employed in agricultural work. These homes support the vital workforce that sustains our region’s farming industry and ensure dignified living conditions for those who help feed our communities.
