HUD Master Models Housing Counseling Programs

HC Housing Counseling Program

This 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 objectives of the program are to expand homeownership opportunities and improve access to affordable housing. Counselors provide guidance and advice to help families and individuals improve their housing conditions and meet the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership. Counselors also help borrowers avoid inflated appraisals, unreasonably high interest rates, unaffordable repayment terms, and other conditions that can result in a loss of equity, increased debt, default, and eventually foreclosure. Program participants may also provide Home Equity Conversion Mortgage HECM counseling to elderly homeowners who seek to convert equity in their homes into income that can be used to pay for home improvements, medical costs, living expenses, or other expenses.

Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.

• An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.

• Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.

• Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.
