Habitat Gets A

New Director

Chris Brown has been a magician, football player, playwright, teacher, and professor, Broadway actor, TV pitchman, theatrical director, child-care manager, nonprofit administrator, and fundraiser. And he expects to be using all those skills as he takes over as executive director of Housatonic Habitat for Humanity. He assumed the position on November 1.

“It’s a goal I’ve been seeking my whole life,” he said, “a ministry where I can help people help each other, bring out the best in one another.”

Habitat for Humanity International has built more than 120,000 homes over the past 25 years.
