Resources for Foreclosure Professionals

National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program

Our Focus

Although many of us have been housing counselors for years, foreclosure intervention counseling is often a new challenge. The majority of the counselors who take NeighborWorks foreclosure training courses have 0-3 years on the job. With ever increasing caseloads, changing legislation and panicked clients, our jobs can be demanding and stressful. This
Web site has been designed to provide you with much needed resources.
