Kevin Moore was recently named Essex County Habitat for Humanity’s new executive director.
Essex County Habitat Board President Tina Benik said the board was impressed by Moore’s deep Habitat experience, collaborative leadership style and unwavering commitment to the organization’s mission.
“Kevin has dedicated his career to Habitat for Humanity and understands every aspect of the organization—from construction and family partnerships to ReStore operations and community collaboration,” said Benik. “His experience, vision and passion make him the ideal leader to guide Essex County Habitat into its next chapter of growth and impact.”
Moore’s Habitat journey began as a college student volunteer while earning his degree in Public and Community Service Studies from Providence College. Over the past 18 years, Moore held progressively senior leadership roles with Habitat for Humanity affiliates in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Most recently, he served as chief operating officer for Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County, overseeing construction, family services and ReStore operations. During his tenure, he helped expand partnerships with communities, modernize construction practices, increase operational efficiency and support continued growth of the affiliate’s ReStore.
Habitat for Humanity is currently completing a duplex at 41 Curtis St. in Haverhill.
“The need for affordable homeownership has never been greater,” Moore said. “I’m excited to learn about the unique needs of each community throughout Essex County and work alongside municipalities, volunteers, donors and community partners to build and preserve affordable homeownership opportunities that make sense for each community.”
Moore officially joins the organization Sept. 1.
