Habitat for Humanity of Jacksonville, Inc. (HabiJax) announced new additions to its team with the hiring of a volunteer manager, a development manager, a portfolio manager and a manager of the HabiJax ReStore.

Davetta Williams, whose background includes work in human resources for the Defense Department and as coordinator of programs for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, joins HabiJax as its volunteer manager. Williams will oversee HabiJax’s use of thousands of community volunteers each year in construction and non-construction capacities, including groups and volunteers who work at the organization’s 38,000-square-foot ReStore.

Folds previously performed public policy duties for the Nonprofit Center of Northeast Florida and is alumnus of Florida State University and the University of North Florida. He is responsible for donor prospects and retention, engagement and outreach, special events and grant applications.

The organization hired Harry Peltz as manager of its ReStore, the retail store that sells new and refurbished home goods and serves as a funding source for HabiJax. Peltz comes to HabiJax with a retail background, having worked in management at Pantry Pride and in sales and management for Lance, Inc. He will manage day-to-day operations at the store including, inventory, pricing, store layout and display and customer experience enhancement.

Octavious Carr, an experienced mortgage service industry professional, joined HabiJax as its portfolio support manager. In this role, Carr will focus on reporting, client relations and loss mitigation, working closely with mortgage servicers, the HabiJax team and homeowners to manage assets of the loan portfolio.

“We are excited to have Davetta, Chris, Harry and Octavious on board at HabiJax at this active time for our organization,” said HabiJax President and CEO Mary Kay O’Rourke. “They each bring a strong background in their respective professions as well as a love for helping people and the community.
