Centro Campesino

Centro Campesino was formed in 1972 as the Centro Campesino Farmworker Center in response to the deplorable living conditions of farmworkers and other low-income families in South Florida. Today, Centro Campesino serves a demographic similar to Miami Dade County with housing development, homeownership solutions, property management, education/workforce development, and community revitalization in South Florida.
