The Housing and Neighborhood Development Department, as a HUD-certified housing counseling agency, is excited to offer housing counseling options that cover a wide-range of housing issues. Whether you are looking to purchase a home in the future or trying to preserve your investment through avoiding foreclosure we are prepared to do our best to help. Our counseling is free of charge and designed to help you make informed decisions for yourself about your housing options.
National studies support that Housing Counseling works! First time buyers who received counseling had 30% lower odds of being at risk of a future foreclosure, and those who sought counseling to prevent foreclosure were 283% more likely to receive loan modifications.
No matter your situation we are prepared to confidentially and effectively work with you to:
- Create a manageable budget
- Set realistic financial goals
- Improve your credit score
- Avoid delinquency on debt
Contact us today to see how we can be of assistance with your housing related challenge or goal!
