Heart of Iowa Habitat for Humanity announces Jeff Lamoureux’s resignation as executive director. Lamoureux’s last day with Habitat was Jan. 28. He accepted the position as executive director for the Iowa Turfgrass Institute.
The Habitat affiliate board of directors has appointed Lindsay Lynch to fill Lamoureux’s role as executive director. Lynch has been with Habitat since 2019 and previously served as the associate director working mainly in Boone County.
During Lamoureux’s time as executive director, Heart of Iowa Habitat built two homes and more than 15 Helping Hands repair projects were completed in Greene and Guthrie Counties, all while navigating volunteers and staff through the challenges of a pandemic. Since his start with Habitat more than 50 families were assisted with home repairs in Greene and Guthrie Counties along with a home rehabilitation in Greene County.
“I will take with me many fond memories and cherish the relationships built while working towards Habitat’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live,” said Lamoureux. “I wish staff and volunteers continued success in advancing the Christian mission of Habitat for Humanity.”
Although he will be missed, the board of directors is excited to use this opportunity to assess the practices and develop a vision for the future to best serve the communities represented while continuing to provide safe, affordable housing.
Habitat for Humanity is a community-driven Christian housing ministry that helps families build and improve places to call home because everyone deserves a decent place to live.
