Our Housing Initiatives
Our Housing Initiatives
Our founder, William J. Pulte (1932-2018), was not only a builder of homes, he was also a builder of communities. Continuing this legacy, we have partnered with nonprofit organizations to address housing challenges for underserved populations.
Working alongside our partners, the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation (PFCF) provides strategic investments and vision to build and support housing for those living at or below the poverty line and those with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. We have embarked on two new initiatives: Monarca, located in Immokalee, FL, and the IDDeal Place, located in Palm Beach County, FL.
Lake Worth, Florida
The IDDeal Place
Over 500,000 people in Florida are diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). However, the state ranks 49th in the nation for providing services for this population there and more than 8,000. The Pulte Family Charitable Foundation (PFCF), in partnership with the Intellectually Developmentally Disabled Community Foundation (IDDCF) and the IDDeal Foundation, is building a small independent residential community called ‘The IDDeal Place’ for individuals with mild to moderate I/DD in South Florida.
While the PFCF is committing millions to land acquisition, entitlement, and land development, the vertical build will be made possible through funding from government agencies, corporate partners, private donors, family offices, and foundations.
The IDDeal Place is a sanctuary for independence, security, and a profound sense of belonging for 22 young adults with mild to moderate intellectual and developmental disabilities. It’s a community where they can enjoy the quality of life they deserve.

Immokalee, Florida
Monarca

Immokalee, meaning “My Home,” is an agricultural community in Southwest Florida. Over 40 percent of its population lives below the poverty level. The area faces a severe housing crisis, with low-income families paying over 70% of their income to reside in unsafe, overcrowded trailers lacking basic amenities.
To address this crisis, Monarca, a 50-acre affordable rental housing development, is planned. It will consist of 179 three- and four-bedroom homes catering to the region’s low socioeconomic population.
Monarca is a philanthropic initiative between the Nuestra Senora de la Vivienda Community Foundation and the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation (PFCF). While the PFCF is committing millions to land acquisition, entitlement, and land development, the vertical build will be made possible through funding from government agencies, corporate partners, private donors, family offices, and foundations.
Through our housing initiatives, we want to spark long-term, transformational change for these communities. Visit monarcafl.org to learn more about Monarca and how you can help.
