advice regarding its mission to provide individuals and families with 
the knowledge they need to obtain, sustain, and improve their housing 
through a strong national network of HUD-approved housing counseling 
agencies and HUD-certified counselors. The HCFAC, however, has no role 
in reviewing or awarding of OHC housing counseling grants and 
procurement contracts. The HCFAC is subject to the requirements of the
