If your request is seeking records
pertaining to another living individual,
you must include a statement from that
individual certifying his/her agreement
for you to access his/her records.
Without the above information, the
component(s) may not be able to

families and individuals in order to help
them make smart decisions regarding
improving their housing situation and
meeting the responsibilities of tenancy
and homeownership, including through
budget and financial counseling.
Counselors also help borrowers avoid
predatory lending practices, such as
inflated appraisals, unreasonably high
interest rates, unaffordable repayment
terms, and other conditions that can
result in a loss of equity, increased debt,
default, and possible foreclosure.
Counselors may also provide reverse
mortgage counseling to elderly
homeowners who seek to convert equity
in their homes to pay for home
improvements, medical costs, living
expenses or other expenses.
Additionally, housing counselors may
distribute and be a resource for
information concerning Fair Housing
and Fair Lending. The Housing
Counseling Program is instrumental to
achievement of HUD’s mission. The
Program’s far-reaching effects support
numerous departmental programs,
including Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) single family
housing programs.
Approximately 1,900 HUDparticipating agencies provide housing
counseling services nation-wide
currently. Of these, approximately 920
have been directly approved by HUD.
HUD maintains a list of these agencies
so that individuals in need of assistance
can easily access the nearest HUDapproved housing counseling agency via
HUD’s Web site, an automated 1–800
Hotline, or a smart phone application.
HUD Form 9900, Application for
Approval as a Housing Counseling
Agency, is necessary to make sure that
people who contact a HUD approved
agency can have confidence they will
receive quality service and these
agencies meet HUD requirements for
approval.
To participate in HUD’s Housing
Counseling Program, a housing
counseling agency must first be
approved by HUD. Approval entails
meeting various requirements relating to
experience and capacity, including
nonprofit status, a minimum of one year
of housing counseling experience in the
target community, and sufficient
resources to implement a housing
counseling plan. Eligible organizations
include local housing counseling
agencies, private or public organizations
(including grassroots, faith-based and
other community-based organizations)
such as nonprofit, state, or public
housing authorities that meet the
Program criteria. HUD uses form HUD–
9900 to evaluate whether applying
organizations meet minimum
