Homeowner Resources

A family’s home is their most important asset, and housing counseling helps ensure that potential and current homeowners are educated and empowered to make informed decisions about purchasing or preserving that home. To that end, the Department of Housing and Community Development supports a statewide network of nonprofit and local government agencies that provide critical assistance to homeowners, and renters.
