This includes funding to HUD-approved housing counseling agencies that are partnering with Historically Black College and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions , or other Minority Serving Institutions.

The funding supports housing counseling agencies in their critical work to stem the tide of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on housing, maintain housing stability by helping families with foreclosure and rental eviction prevention, and help families make more informed housing choices. The awards also include funding to further training and education to attract and retain more housing counseling professionals. $49.4 million of the grants awarded will directly support the housing counseling services provided by HUD-approved local housing counseling agencies, national and regional organizations, multi-state organizations, and state housing finance agencies.
