Habitat for Humanity of North Central CT says its longtime CEO will step down later this year. Karraine Moody will be replaced by Kris McKelvie, who is now chief operating officer.

“On behalf of HFHNCC’s Board of Directors, we thank Karraine Moody for her exceptional leadership over the past two decades,” said Crystal Floyd, the organization’s Board President. “We are confident that Kris McKelvie’s leadership will build on that legacy, advancing our mission and continuing to make a significant difference in the communities we serve.”

The nonprofit says that under Moody’s leadership, it has increased the number of families it serves annually from 10 to 50 while expanding into Tolland County, opened two retail locations in Bloomfield and Vernon, and become the first Habitat in Connecticut to build zero-energy homes.

Moody will leave her post later this year, with McKelvie slated to take the CEO position in January 2026.

McKelvie joined Habitat North Central CT as an AmeriCorps volunteer member in 2007. In 2017, he became the director of construction and led the organization’s efforts to build Zero Energy Ready homes. 
 
Habitat for Humanity North Central CT has several projects slated for 2025. The affiliate will begin working on building sites in Hartford and Bristol as it finalizes the Burnside Hope project in East Hartford. Burnside Hope, a 10-home Zero Energy Ready community, has a dedication ceremony scheduled for November 7, 2025.
