Welcome Ben Johnson, Teton Habitat’s New CEO

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We’re excited to share an important leadership update as Teton Habitat enters a new chapter of growth.

We are pleased to welcome Ben Johnson as Teton Habitat’s first-ever Chief Executive Officer, beginning January 12. This new role was created by our Board of Directors to support the organization’s continued growth and guide our expanding affordable housing efforts, including preparation for the Northern South Park Development.

Ben brings experience across construction, finance, nonprofit leadership, and small business ownership. He previously lived in Jackson for more than a decade and returns after 14 years in Salt Lake City, where he remained deeply engaged in both business and nonprofit work. His background and values strongly align with Habitat’s mission and the needs of our community.

As CEO, Ben will focus on organizational growth, strategic partnerships, fundraising, and long-term sustainability, working closely with Kris Greenville, our Chief Operating Officer, who continues to lead operations and construction.

Thank you for being part of this work. Together, we’re building safe, affordable homes and a stronger community.

With gratitude,

The Teton Habitat Team

“What excites me most about Teton Habitat is the people - the staff, the board, and the community partners who are deeply committed to solving housing challenges together.”

– Ben Johnson, Chief Executive Officer
