Homeless No More: Affordable Housing Transforms Lives As the developers of Ekos Allegro, McDowell Housing Partners proudly celebrates providing safe, affordable homes for seniors like Daniel Mullins and Cynthia VanBibber. Thanks to a $1.3 million bridge loan from the Collier Housing Impact Investment Fund, we opened doors earlier, offering hope and stability. Ekos Allegro Highlights: 320 units with amenities like a pool, fitness center, and computer lab Rents: $477–$1,280/month based on income Onsite healthcare and daily hot lunches This milestone addresses Collier County’s housing crisis, where nearly 50,000 households are rent-burdened and rents have surged by 50% in two years. Vietnam veteran Daniel Mullins shared, “We went from homeless shelters to living in a penthouse. I’m still pinching myself.” Thank you to our partners for making this vision a reality. Together, we’re building more than homes—we’re building hope.

At McDowell Housing Partners, we’re deeply committed to addressing Collier County's urgent need for affordable housing for seniors. The newly opened Ekos Allegro near Lely Resort is more than just apartments—it’s a community-first environment offering much-needed stability to low-income seniors in a region with rising living costs. Ekos Allegro provides a safe, affordable, and vibrant place for seniors to thrive, complete with a medical screening room, community events, and easy access to local amenities. As our founder, Pat McDowell, shared at the ribbon-cutting, “We’re here for the long haul. Ekos Allegro isn’t just housing—it’s a place for residents to live, work, and play right in their neighborhood.” With plans for a second location next year, McDowell Housing Partners is proud to expand these opportunities, ensuring more residents have a place to call home.

We’re proud to unveil EKOS Allegro, our new affordable housing community for seniors in Collier County. This 160-unit project offers safe, affordable housing for at-risk seniors, complete with modern amenities and rent options that provide relief in a challenging market. This project reflects our commitment to uplifting the senior community, ensuring they have a secure place to call home.
