Housing counseling agencies offer guidance on homebuying, renting, reverse mortgages and default and foreclosure prevention.

The Housing Counseling Program is designed to serve Homebuyers, Homeowners, and Renters. The overall objective is to provide housing counseling services, including increasing the participation of first-time home buyers and families and individuals eligible for or assisted under home buying, home ownership, or rental housing programs regardless of the source of the program. This includes enabling these persons to make prudent and responsible use of the programs by helping eligible home buyers obtain affordable housing, and homeowners avoid foreclosures or evictions, and by helping eligible renters, including public housing and Section 8 participants, locate and qualify for assisted rental units.
