HUD - Housing Counseling

Good News!
The Department of Housing & Urban Development has granted $60 million earmarked to provide counseling for families with financial matters in housing to avoid foreclosure.

This money will be shared with 22 housing counseling agencies in Aurora, Boulder, Canon City, Colorado Springs, Commerce City, Denver, Durango, Fort Collins, Lone Tree and Westminster. If you live in one of these listed cities, and having troubles making house payments, you should get in touch with the City, and see how they can assist you.

The counselors will help homeowners avoid predatory lenders with subprime mortgages, unreasonably high interest rates, high fees or unaffordable repayment terms.

You can contact individual agencies found on the HUD web site: www.hud.gov/colorado or by calling the local housing authority.
