The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Housing Counseling announced it will make $10 million in grant funding available to eligible housing counseling agencies.
According to a press release from the department, the funds will enable the agencies “to provide culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services for pre- and post-purchase housing counseling, aiming to increase homeownership rates among historically underserved communities.”
“HUD is committed to expanding access to homeownership, especially for those who have been shut out of homebuying opportunities for far too long,” said HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge. “Housing counselors across America offer invaluable information and guidance. I am pleased that even more people will be able to access their services, purchase homes, and begin building wealth, thanks to today’s announcement.”
More information about the grant submission requirements and process are available on grants.gov, and applications must be received by April 4.
