Lacasa announces Mayor Stutsman's hire as CEO
ELKHART, Ind. - Lacasa, Inc. announced Thursday that Goshen Mayor Jeremy Stutsman has accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer. The nonprofit's announcement comes one day after Mayor Stutsman issued his resignation letter.
As CEO, Mayor Stutsman will lead a mission-driven housing agency that works with individuals to achieve financial stability.
"While I love my current job, the Lacasa CEO position brings together my love for servant leadership and my community, my government connections, and my 18+ years of construction experience," said Stutsman. "It allows me to continue serving our community and those who need help finding a path to a secure and prosperous future."
"I am excited to be part of an organization that brings people with differing socio-economic backgrounds and perspectives together to build a stronger community," he said. "During my time as mayor, we were able to raise funds for city projects, multiple initiatives, and local nonprofits because we took a positive and non-partisan approach. I believe building relationships across party lines and throughout local, state and federal levels of government will continue to produce great outcomes, both for Lacasa and our community."
Lacasa owns and operates 342 rental housing units across Elkhart County.
