Empowering homeowners to protect themselves against loan modification scams, the Neighborhood House Association (NHA) Housing Counseling Program is the reliable help the community needs. In partnership with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), NHA brings loan scam awareness as well as honest loan modification services to the community.
Every day, homeowners facing foreclosure are promised loan modification help; many uninformed and falling victim to loan scams, losing thousands of dollars in the process. To combat this issue, NHA is committed to educating the community regarding loan scams and helping victimized homeowners report illegal activity to the authorities.

• Mortgage default, delinquency and foreclosure prevention counseling
• Loan modification counseling
• Mortgage scam assistance/awareness
• Counseling on avoiding predatory lenders
• Rental placement counseling and referrals
• Tenant/landlord counseling and/or no-cost legal referrals
