participants will be enrolled through the
branch offices and telephone centers of
three national lenders in 10
jurisdictions throughout the country.
Lender staff will ask potential home
buyers to voluntarily participate in the
study, directing interested participants
to the telephone call-in research center
for the eligibility assessment and
baseline survey. To achieve 4,000
enrolled study participants, the intake
and eligibility assessment will be
conducted with up to 7,000 potential
study participants over a period of 9 to
10 months. Additionally, 45 study
participants will be asked to participate
in semi-structured follow-up interviews
that seek to learn about participants’
experiences with enrollment and
interaction with participating
counseling agencies.
In each of the 10 jurisdictions for the
study, local counseling agencies and
national counseling intermediaries will
be recruited to provide (a) Online
education and telephone counseling and
(b) in-person education and counseling.
One national provider will be
responsible for the online education and
telephone counseling. Local counseling
agencies will be recruited to provide the
in-person education and counseling. In
each case, the counseling agencies will
be responsible for documenting the
counseling services provided to the
2,300 study participants assigned to
receive one of these types of counseling
(the remaining 1,700 study participants
constitute the control group). Staff of the
lenders and counseling agencies will be
asked to participate in semi-structured
interviews that seek to understand the
enrollment process and provision of
counseling in each jurisdiction. The
purpose of these data collection
activities is to collect the information
needed to evaluate the impact of prepurchase housing counseling.

Agency form numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public: Up to
7,000 potential first-time homebuyers;
