The City of Cocoa, in partnership with Lennar Homes, officially broke ground on January 16, on a new workforce housing development in the Michael C. Blake Subdivision.
The project follows the approval of a development agreement with Lennar Homes to construct 32 workforce housing units, expanding access to affordable homeownership opportunities for very low, low, and moderate-income professionals.
The development is designed to serve essential members of the community, including local firefighters, police officers, nurses, and teachers, helping ensure that those who serve Cocoa every day can live close to where they work.
City leaders, Council, representatives from Lennar Homes, and members of the community gathered to celebrate the milestone and recognize the collaborative effort behind the project.
“Homeownership is the foundation of the American Dream, and Lennar is committed to building attainable homes for more families through innovative collaborations like this,” said Brad Miller, Division Manager for Lennar.
