Housing counseling is a critical tool to equip consumers with the information they need to manage their housing and financial decisions. Housing counselors are trained to provide a full complement of homeownership and rental counseling services. From pre-purchase counseling to get a family mortgage-ready to post-purchase counseling to help them maintain affordable homeownership, counselors can help lower barriers to attaining and sustaining homeownership. They also serve as navigators, connecting clients with resources like down payment assistance and affordable loan products that remove financial barriers that would otherwise make homeownership out of reach. Counselors can also assist families to avoid eviction and maintain stable housing.
