Local Habitat for Humanity leaders in the Upper and Middle Keys visited the State Capitol on Feb. 3 as part of the Habitat Florida State Lobby Day. Scott Goss, executive director for the Upper Keys Habitat, said they relayed to state leaders that Habitat is in the business of affordable homeownership for families who are working in their local communities, and more than anything, want to be a part of the community.
