At Lacasa, we believe that affordable and supportive housing isn’t built with bricks and lumber alone—it’s built through trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to community. That spirit was on full display this week at the Lakeview Drive Development on Oaklawn’s campus, where partners gathered not just to work—but to celebrate.
We were honored to be joined by crews from DJ Construction, Bender’s Construction, Bashor Children’s Home, and our own Lacasa team for a BBQ lunch hosted by our friends and primary lumber supplier, Miller’s Building Supply. Their generosity turned an ordinary workday into an extraordinary moment of camaraderie. As the smell of burgers filled the air and laughter echoed across the site, it was a powerful reminder that strong partnerships are what truly fuel this work.
The Lakeview Drive Development is one of Lacasa’s most exciting projects—providing supportive, affordable housing for individuals and families in need. The progress we’re seeing is not just measured in construction milestones, but in the relationships and shared values that make it all possible.
This project wouldn’t be where it is today without key partnerships and supporters, including:
Behind every successful project is a dedicated team, and at Lacasa, we’re proud to have one of the best. A special thank you to the leaders driving this initiative forward:
It’s inspiring for the Lacasa team to have a front-row seat as projects like this come together, brick by brick, relationship by relationship. I’m proud every day to work alongside the Lacasa team and to serve the resilient, beautiful communities of Elkhart County.”
The Lakeview Drive Development is more than a construction site—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when organizations, local government, businesses, and nonprofits come together with a shared purpose. As we continue building, we’re filled with gratitude and hope for what this space will soon become: a place of stability, opportunity, and belonging.
