Feel-Good Friday: Community Shows Up to Build Hope Through Housing

PERRYSBURG, Ohio — The best stories in a community are often about people showing up for one another. On September 17, more than 75 people did just that at Lucas Housing Services Corporation’s Building Hope Through Housing fundraiser at Taylor Hyundai of Perrysburg.

Guests, partners and supporters gathered around a shared belief: housing provides more than shelter. It offers stability, possibility and a place to build a future. The evening was a reminder that this work has a whole community behind it.

LHSC would like to thank everyone who attended, donated, purchased a ticket or helped spread the word. Each act of support helped make the event a success and gave us plenty to feel good about this Friday.

A special thank-you goes to event sponsor Taylor Automotive Family for its generosity and hospitality. LHSC also thanks raffle sponsors Owens Corning, Metroparks Toledo, the National Museum of the Great Lakes and Imagination Station for helping make the evening possible.

One evening brought more than 75 people together. The hope they shared will keep moving forward. 💙💚

Feel-Good Friday: Celebrating Cindy Shackelford’s 26 Years of Service to LMH and our Community

On June 30, Lucas Metropolitan Housing celebrates the retirement of Cindy Shackelford after 26 years of dedicated service to LMH, our residents, and the greater community.

Cindy began her LMH journey on April 10, 2000, as an HCV Clerical Specialist. Over the years, she served in several important roles across the organization, including Application Technician with LIPH, Assistant Property Manager, Property Manager, Housing Specialist, Family Outreach Coach, and most recently, FOC Program Coordinator.

Her career reflects a deep commitment to service, resident support, and community impact. From helping families complete applications to supporting residents through housing programs and community-based services, Cindy has been part of the everyday work that helps move lives forward.

Cindy’s timeline at LMH tells the story of more than a career. It tells the story of relationships built, friendships formed, residents supported, and a mission lived out with care and consistency.

As Cindy shared, “The relationships and friendships I have because of working here are immeasurable. I wish LMH and the residents all the best. I know LMH is moving upward and onward!”

On behalf of LMH, we thank Cindy for her 26 years of service, dedication, and heart. Her work has left a meaningful mark on this organization and on the residents and community we serve.

Congratulations, Cindy, and best wishes in retirement!
