This notice solicits public comment on a proposed four-year, two-phase, housing counseling pilot, ``HAWK for New Homebuyers.'' HAWK stands for Homeowners Armed With Knowledge, and serves as an umbrella term for several initiatives to link HUD's Housing Counseling program with FHA-insured mortgage origination and servicing.

The Supplementary Information section of this notice provides the details of the pilot. HUD welcomes public comment, and all comments will be taken into consideration by HUD.
