Webinar Series: Readying Your Organization for Rental Housing Counseling
Housing counseling agencies (HCAs) can play an essential role in reducing evictions by providing rental housing counseling services to their clients. Rental counseling can help prevent evictions by addressing tenant rights and responsibilities, working with landlords to preserve stable housing, developing sustainable household budgets, and connecting clients to eviction prevention and rental resources in the community.
HUD's Office of Housing Counseling hosted a series of five webinars to help HCAs prepare for rental housing counseling amid the COVID-19 National Emergency.
