What is Housing Counseling?

Housing counseling refers to a number of programs and services offered by IFHMB that assist homeowners, potential homeowners, renters, and individuals with education, information, and about options that are available.

As a HUD-approved housing counseling agency funded by federal dollars, IFHMB’s certified counselors provide confidential, one-on-one counseling for individuals facing foreclosure, requesting rental information, and experiencing homelessness. Additionally, IFHMB’s legal department conducts investigations of unfair and predatory lending practices.

Default/Foreclosure Prevention Counseling

IFHMB’s certified housing counselors successfully assist homeowners who are at risk of losing their home by exploring any available options including loan modification, special forbearance, partial claims, repayment plans, reinstatement plans, and short sale options. 

IFHMB’s counselors carefully evaluate cases on an individual basis, tailoring each counseling session to work specifically on each homeowner’s situation. Counselors also provide information about how to avoid Loan Modification scams.

Default and foreclosure prevention counseling services are provided at no cost.
