Know Your Options: One-on-One Guidance Available from HUD-Certified Housing Counselors

pattern

At the end of July 2021,  mortgage forbearance, renters protections and other relief options are expiring. This means that for many households, past due balances will need attention.

Budgeting to keep in our homes is  a key priority when it comes to personal finances.  Getting guidance from HUD-Certified Housing Counselors helps people cope with the uncertainty.

The Mortgage Bankers Association estimates 3.8 million homeowners are in forbearance plans, which could turn into foreclosure if the borrower cannot resume payments when the forbearance ends.

With deadlines on the horizon, the earlier borrowers reach out to GreenPath’s HUD-certified counselors who can examine their entire financial picture and prepare them to resume payments, the better.

Sometimes just knowing the options is the best path forward in times of uncertainty.

100 percent of GreenPath’s 160+ housing counselors have successfully completed the rigorous training program established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Agency (HUD), passed the exam, and are certified by HUD.

Achieving full compliance before HUD’s original  August 2020 certification deadline  is a distinction that sets GreenPath apart.
