The migrant farmer families who live at Casa San Juan Bosco in DeSoto County work year-round to put food on Floridians’ tables. Oranges, tomatoes and strawberries are the main produce they provide, and they do it for a median income of $18,000 a year. The affordable housing community, hosted by Catholic Charities, helps the 426 residents afford to live a sustainable life, even though they make low wages.  Before COVID-19, both parents in the households often went to work while their children went to school and participated in Catholic Charities’ after-school programs, which were suspended this year because of the pandemic. Even though DeSoto schools have reopened, many of the families don t feel safe sending their children to in-person learning, so one parent often stays home to oversee virtual schooling. This cuts their income in half and presents new challenges.
