Description of the need for the

Housing Counseling Agencies and
maintains a toll-free housing counseling
hotline, performance reviews help HUD
ensure that individuals seeking
assistance from these approved agencies
can have confidence in the quality of
services that they will receive.
HUD uses performance reviews to
ascertain the professional and
management capacity of HUD-approved
Housing Counseling Agencies to
provide adequate housing counseling
services that are necessary to comply
with the requirements of the Housing
and Urban Development Act and to
ensure that grant funded organizations
comply with HUD and OMB

the Housing Counseling Program to
guard against waste, fraud, abuse, or
inappropriate program practices. This
collection provides the means to meet
that obligation.

Not-for profit institutions; State, Local,
