How it works
What to expect from counseling
Housing counseling is an appointment with a counselor at a HUD-approved agency. This is how it works, according to HUD.
- Step 1
Free or low cost
HUD-approved agencies receive federal funds. Some charge a reasonable fee for certain services, such as workshops; ask about cost before you start.
- Step 2
For buying, renting or getting out of trouble
They advise on buying a home, renting, credit and budgeting, and help if you fell behind on your mortgage or face foreclosure.
- Step 3
Bring your paperwork
Your income (pay stubs or bank statements), your monthly debts and expenses, and whatever you have saved. With that, the counselor builds a plan with you.
- Step 4
Ask for service in Spanish
When you call, say “Spanish, please” or ask whether someone speaks Spanish; if not, ask whether they offer an interpreter.
