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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
