Housing Counseling Application

Housing Pilot Member Application

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling has a long-standing legacy of unwavering support for its members who are nonprofit credit and housing counseling agencies. Throughout its history, the NFCC has been dedicated to empowering individuals and families to achieve their housing goals through comprehensive counseling and education programs. As a trusted organization, the NFCC ensures that its members have access to the resources, training, and guidance needed to provide high-quality housing counseling services to their clients.

Recognizing that the need for counseling is especially important for people seeking access to affordable housing and for those struggling to preserve homeownership in this challenging economy, the NFCC is launching a new housing counseling membership pilot that removes the requirement for applicant agencies to offer credit counseling and debt management programs. This means that any HUD-approved housing counseling agency can now apply for membership in the NFCC and benefit from access to funding through the intermediary, access to exclusive non-federal funding, member-focused knowledge-sharing and best practices, and a range of supports enhancing the overall effectiveness of HUD-approved housing counseling nationwide.
