Abstract: HUD-approved agencies are non-profit and government organizations that provide housing services. The information collected allows HUD to monitor and provide oversight for agencies approved to participate in the Housing Counseling Program. Specifically, the information collected is used to ensure that participating agencies comply with program policies and regulations and to determine if agencies remain eligible to maintain an approval status. Housing counseling aids tenants and homeowners in improving their housing conditions and in meeting the responsibilities of tenancy and homeownership.
