What a housing counselor can do for you
Housing counselors are independent and HUD-approved. They explain the Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher application process, help you gather documents, connect you with local housing authorities and open waiting lists, and can help you stay housed or avoid foreclosure.
Agencies marked "Rental counseling" provide rental housing counseling - the services most relevant to renters and voucher holders.
