Comite de Bien Estar (Comite) is a membership organization, specifically a land development cooperative. It was started in the border town of San Luis, Arizona in 1981 when 400 families banded together to save enough money to purchase and develop 100 acres of land for lots on which they could build their own homes. By the time they accomplished their vision, the families had pooled $1.4 million for the land and infrastructure - with no outside financial assistance.
Comite works to empower Mexican-American residents and immigrants who encounter many barriers, including low wages, little access to conventional financing, and limited political representation. Its development strategy addresses the realities of the bi-national local community.
Marco "Tony" Reyes has been the executive director of the organization since its inception. He also serves as member of the Yuma County Board of Supervisors, having served as the Mayor of San Luis from 1984 to 1994. He is also the chairman of the Enterprise Community Advisory Board.[2]
