Program supports the delivery of a wide
variety of housing counseling services to
homebuyers, homeowners, low- to
moderate-income renters, and the
homeless. The primary objective of the
program is to educate families and
individuals in order to help them make
smart decisions regarding improving
their housing situation and meeting the
responsibilities of tenancy and
homeownership, including through
budget and financial counseling.
Counselors also help borrowers avoid
predatory lending practices, such as
inflated appraisals, unreasonably high
interest rates, unaffordable repayment
terms, and other conditions that can
result in a loss of equity, increased debt,
default, and possible foreclosure.
Counselors may also provide reverse
mortgage counseling to elderly
homeowners who seek to convert equity
in their homes to pay for home
improvements, medical costs, living
expenses or other expenses.
Additionally, housing counselors may
distribute and be a resource for
information concerning of fair housing
and fair lending requirements of the Fair
Housing Act, as well as finding units
accessible to persons with disabilities.
The Housing Counseling Program is
instrumental to achievement of HUD’s
mission. The Program’s far-reaching
effects support numerous departmental
programs, including Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) single family
housing programs.
Approximately 1,700 HUDparticipating agencies provide housing
counseling services nationwide
currently. Of these, approximately 975
have been directly approved by HUD.
HUD maintains a list of these agencies
so that individuals in need of assistance
can easily access the nearest HUDapproved Housing Counseling Agency
(HCA) via HUD’s website, an automated
1800 Hotline, or a smart phone
application. Form HUD–9900,
Application for Approval as a Housing
Counseling Agency, is necessary to
make sure that people who contact a
HUD-approved HCA can have
confidence they will receive quality
service and these agencies meet HUD
requirements for approval.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
700.
Estimated Number of Responses: 700.
