The <h:outputText> by default escapes HTML entities as part of XSS attack prevention.

If you can guarantee that the value does not contain any user-controlled input such as username and so on, then you can use escape="false" to disable HTML escaping.

<h:outputText value="#{msg['contact_us_link']}" escape="false" />
