Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country
 
 
 
Habitat for Humanity of Castle Country was established in 1989 as the only HFH affiliate in SE Utah, an area of the country that is both very remote and breathtakingly beautiful, home to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, the San Rafael Swell, and endless back-country roads and trails. HFHCC recently completed one new construction home (Dec 2012), one rehab home (Dec 2013), and established an A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) home repair program, which has served thirteen partner family homeowners since it began in November 2013. This new program seeks to serve a larger number of partner families to meet homeowners at their needs and to gain exposure for Habitat for Humanity as a affordable housing provider. HFHCC seeks to train its board to prepare for growth, attract qualified staff to move from a part-time and mostly volunteer organization to a fully-operating major housing provider for the communities we serve. Recently awarded grants have built the ABWK program from scratch, and partner family homeowners are paying on time, but the room for growth in this underserved area is immense, and our organization is ready to take the next step, but need a lot of capacity building efforts to assure as funding is secured and staff are hired we are adequately prepared. The Utah network of HFH affiliates is strong and willing to help.
