Community Action Southwest’s Home Ownership Center offers free appointments with HUD-certified housing counselors trained to assist area residents with credit repair, home buying and foreclosure.

Counselors work with residents to determine what people can afford, review their credit scores, determine how credit scores can be improved when needed, discuss options for down payment assistance and explore pre-qualification for suitable loan programs. For existing homeowners, counselors work with residents to help them refinance when needed and to enroll them in programs designed to prevent foreclosures through the national Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Initiative.
