Housing Counseling and Service Provider Network

This is a list of pre- and post-purchase housing service providers that work with the Commission on homeownership programs. Most of the counseling services these agencies provide are free. These organizations are HUD approved and/or Neighborworks-trained, with experienced housing counselors on staff to assist you with your counseling needs. They can provide information on credit, budgeting, becoming mortgage ready, savings plans, default and foreclosure prevention. Many of these agencies are very familiar with affordable homeownership programs around the state and sometimes even offer their own programs to assist with homeownership, rehabilitation and weatherization.

PLEASE NOTE: Not all agencies offer the same services. Please visit the Washington State Department of Financial Institution’s Financial Education Clearinghouse website for information and resources about managing finances.

PP= Indicates this agency provides pre-purchase housing counseling BEFORE you buy or rent a home. Services such as: Credit Repair and Budgeting, starting a Savings Plan and Becoming Mortgage Ready (some also host WSHFC sponsored Home Buyer Education Seminars)

DP= Indicates this agency provides post-purchase housing counseling AFTER you have bought or rented a home. Services such as: Default or Foreclosure Prevention, Credit Repair, Budgeting & Rehab Referrals
