The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sponsors certain housing counseling agencies throughout the country that in turn give advice free or at low cost. Housing counselors can assist you in understanding your options and negotiating with your mortgage servicer.

Legal Assistance

Legal aid societies and legal services organizations provide direct legal assistance in civil cases to low-income families and individuals through a network of neighborhood and court-based offices.

Some coalitions identify benefits and, community resources, such as interest-free loans for people who need small loans. They also conduct homeowner and professional training seminars.
