The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded this $1,247,824 Project Grant under the Housing Counseling Assistance Program (CFDA 14.169) to provide funding support to HUD's nationwide network of approved housing counseling agencies. These agencies deliver a range of housing counseling activities, including pre-purchase/home buying counseling, resolving or preventing mortgage delinquency or default counseling, and non-delinquency post-purchase counseling. The quantifiable outcomes for the grant include increased access to housing resources, improved living conditions, home purchases, reverse mortgages, mortgage default prevention, and loan modifications. HUD requires grantees to partner with Minority Serving Institutions to provide these housing counseling services to their communities and expand their partnerships.
The grant has several sub-awards to non-profit and community development organizations across Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Missouri. These sub-grantees provide a variety of housing counseling services, including foreclosure prevention, rental assistance, homebuyer education, homelessness prevention, and financial management counseling. Some sub-grantees also offer complementary services like energy assistance, workforce development, and services for vulnerable populations like seniors and individuals with disabilities.
