Habitat for Humanity of Southwest Utah is a fabulous cause! They are always in the public eye proving their mission statement and goals. Being a Realtor in the area I came across Habitat's amazing cause early in my career. I have a special spot in my heart for them and all they do in our community. I am grateful they see and recognize the need for affordable housing in our area.
