Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6200 N 33
The Fiscal Year 2018 Comprehensive Housing Counseling Grant Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides discretionary grant funding to support HUD-approved housing counseling agencies that deliver direct counseling services to people facing housing-related decisions and challenges. The central aim of the program is to strengthen housing stability and improve household financial outcomes by funding counseling and practical guidance for tenants and homeowners, both current and prospective. HUD frames this NOFA as part of a broader effort to stabilize the national housing market by helping individuals and families obtain housing, maintain housing, and avoid preventable crises through informed decision-making and responsible homeownership or access to affordable rental housing.
At the service level, the NOFA is designed to fund counseling and advice across a wide range of topics that commonly determine whether a household can secure and keep safe, stable housing. This includes support related to property maintenance and the day-to-day responsibilities that come with renting or owning a home, along with financial management and financial literacy. The counseling is meant to be practical and client-centered, giving people clear, unbiased information that helps them understand options, evaluate tradeoffs, and take next steps that fit their circumstances. HUD emphasizes flexibility so agencies can respond to the specific needs of their residents and neighborhoods rather than being locked into a single counseling model. As a result, funded agencies may provide a broad mix of housing counseling services relevant to homebuyers, existing homeowners, renters, and people experiencing homelessness.
A major priority highlighted in the NOFA is reaching populations that have historically been underserved and that often face additional barriers in the housing market. HUD specifically calls out minorities, older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, individuals with limited English proficiency, and residents of rural areas. The rationale is that these groups frequently encounter unique housing and economic challenges, including limited access to trustworthy information, heightened vulnerability to predatory practices, and obstacles to navigating complex housing systems. Through this grant program, HUD intends to reinforce a network of counseling agencies that can close information gaps, help clients improve their financial situations, and connect them to resources that support long-term stability.
HUD also positions housing counseling agencies as an important consumer-protection layer within the housing ecosystem. The NOFA notes that counseling organizations can help prevent housing scams and discrimination by providing expert, unbiased guidance and by helping clients recognize warning signs, understand their rights and responsibilities, and pursue legitimate assistance. In addition to direct counseling, these agencies often function as a gateway to local, state, federal, and private housing assistance programs and community resources, helping clients access the broader support landscape that may be available in their area.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Instrument: Grant) under the Housing activity category and is associated with CFDA number 14.169. The funding opportunity number is FR 6200 N 33, and the issuing agency is HUD.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants consult the NOFA's additional eligibility clarification language, but the description makes clear that the funding is intended to support HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.Apply for FR 6200 N 33
