Through our Comprehensive Housing Counseling Program, expert, non-proprietary professional counseling is provided to help individuals and families learn about financial capabilities and gain access to county, state, and federal financial and housing programs, community resources and funding. Counseling is available regardless of eligibility for income-based programs, though services are specifically targeted to low-to-moderate income households (individuals and families) in Bucks County. Counseling and workshops are available for topics such as budgeting and credit, renting, first time homebuying and homeowning, and foreclosure prevention.

"I just wanted to tell you how much we learned today. It was a long day but everything you talked about was important. We really want to buy a house, but after today we know we have to go home and really talk about this budget stuff."
"I’ve been in my new home for 2 1/2 months and I couldn’t be happier. I wanted to personally thank you again for your help, advice, guidance, and funds from Bucks County! It is a dream come true for me!"
A note from a Foreclosure Counseling case: A widowed woman who was current on her mortgage, but in imminent danger of default, came in for counseling. During her appointment the counselor determined that the homeowner was eligible for a loan modification on both her first and second mortgages. Monthly payments were reduced by $500/month and also now include escrows for taxes and home owners insurance. Bob and Carol (not their real names) came in with an Act 91. They also had an offer from their lender for a loan modification that they did not understand. We provided counseling and a referral to Legal Aid. After counseling, the borrowers ultimately accepted the modification offered by their lender.
