If an individual takes and passes the certification exam and is verified as a HUD Certified Counselor working for an agency, and then leaves that agency to work for another HUD approved agency, does the certification follow that individual?

An individual’s HUD housing counselor certification is connected to the HUD-participating agency that has verified the individual’s employment. If the individual leaves that agency, the counselor’s certification with that agency will end. When the counselor subsequently works for another HUD-participating agency, and that agency verifies that the counselor works for them, the counselor will then be certified with that HUD-participating agency.
