Featured Resource

HUD recently launched a free HUD Certified Housing Counselor Knowledge Assessment Tool:

Knowledge Assessment

The Knowledge Assessment Tool, available in both English and Spanish, does not replace or replicate the existing practice exam in style, format, or length, but it does provide candidates with more detailed feedback. The assessment also offers insight into the rationale behind correct and incorrect answers, as well as recommended topics for further study. Questions link to training content and the feedback will offer teaching guidance to help candidates identify areas of strength and weakness for continued study.
