The housing counseling agency can either input data directly into HUD’s Housing Counseling System (HCS) or submit through its own Client Management System (CMS) using the Agency Reporting Module connection to HUD’s HCS. With universal CMS use, the HUD-9902 will populate automatically based on electronic client files.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to submit an information collection unless that collection displays a valid OMB control number. This information is collected in connection with HUD’s Housing Counseling Program and will be used by HUD to collect performance and outcome data related to HUD’s Housing Counseling Program.
