"We provide free expert advice and support for homeowners in all stages of mortgage delinquency."

You’re not alone. Let our experts help you discover the best foreclosure prevention options for you and your home.

As scary as it may feel to fall behind on your rent or mortgage, there are steps you can take and programs you can use to rehabilitate your loan, repair your relationship with your landlord, and keep you in your home. Foreclosure and eviction counseling is offered free to any homeowner or renter concerned about their ability to manage their monthly mortgage or rent payments and is a great first step on the road to rehabilitation.

Foreclosure and eviction counseling includes a one-on-one conversation with a trained specialist. You’ll work together with your counselor, discussing the cause of your issues, reviewing your finances, and deciding on an action plan to help you meet your goals. Since MMI is not a lender, we do not provide consumer loans. We can, however, if needed, help connect you with a lender or mortgage servicer to begin the rehabilitation process for your delinquent mortgage.

It’s important to note, however, that the sooner you act, the more options you have. Our counselors are certified and trained to create a plan of action designed just for you and your situation. We don't just offer general advice - we help you take action. Keep in mind that your options will vary depending on your specific circumstances. It’s possible that there may not be a way to prevent a foreclosure that's already in progress. That’s why it’s important to seek help as soon as you begin to struggle. So don’t wait until you feel absolutely desperate - take action as soon as you realize you need help.

Who can benefit?

• Those worried about making next month's mortgage or rent payment
• Those who are already behind on their mortgage or rent payments
• Those worried they may lose their home

The Importance of Housing Counseling for Renters:
Many housing counseling agencies are committed to serving clients that are rent burdened or may be facing eviction. The collection of resources on this page are for housing counselors working with clients to prevent eviction. Families struggling to keep up with rent and utility costs are often living one emergency or misstep away from losing their housing.

Housing counseling agencies play an essential role in reducing evictions by:

Helping clients identify an affordable unit
Providing information to renters on tenant rights and fair housing issues
Counseling on household budgeting and good rental practices
Connecting clients with community resources

Will you talk to my lender?
Your counseling session is completely confidential. We won't speak to any third party unless you ask us to.

The sooner you start, the more options you’ll have
If you're feeling anxiety about your home, the worst thing you can do is nothing. Our foreclosure experts are available 24/7 to help you understand your options and start taking action to avoid a potential foreclosure.

This program provides counseling to consumers on seeking, financing, maintaining, renting, or owning a home. The program also addresses homelessness through counseling and assists homeowners in need of foreclosure assistance.

The servicer must mail you a Notice of Default and Intent to Accelerate. ("Accelerate" means to demand that the entire balance of the loan be repaid). This notice has to give you at least 20 days to cure the default. (Tex. Prop. Code § 51.002(d) (2024).) The breach letter that the servicer sends can satisfy this requirement.

Notice of Sale. After the cure period expires, and at least 21 days before the foreclosure sale, the servicer then mails a Notice of Sale to each borrower. The servicer must also post the Notice of Sale at the courthouse door and file it with the county clerk. (Tex. Prop. Code § 51.002(b) (2024).)

Agencies must provide counseling without charge to persons who demonstrate they cannot afford the fees;
Agencies must inform clients of the fee structure in advance of providing services;
Fees must be commensurate with the level of services provided.

Whether you’ve lost your job, are struggling to make ends meet, or are currently delinquent; don’t wait to contact us.

Federal law generally requires the servicer to wait until the loan is over 120 days delinquent before officially starting a foreclosure. However, in a few situations, like if you violate a due-on-sale clause or if the servicer is joining the foreclosure action of a superior or subordinate lienholder, the foreclosure can begin sooner.

In Texas, the foreclosing lender has to give two notices of the foreclosure: a notice of default and a notice of sale.

Notice of Default and Intent to Accelerate. The servicer must mail you a Notice of Default and Intent to Accelerate. ("Accelerate" means to demand that the entire balance of the loan be repaid). This notice has to give you at least 20 days to cure the default. (Tex. Prop. Code § 51.002(d) (2024).) The breach letter that the servicer sends can satisfy this requirement.

Notice of Sale. After the cure period expires, and at least 21 days before the foreclosure sale, the servicer then mails a Notice of Sale to each borrower. The servicer must also post the Notice of Sale at the courthouse door and file it with the county clerk. (Tex. Prop. Code § 51.002(b) (2024).)

Foreclosure prevention counseling is provided for free. There is no cost and no risk to use this service.

Buying a home is one of biggest financial commitments you can make.

Do I need homebuyer counseling or homebuyer education?
Homebuyer counseling and homebuyer education courses cover slightly different topics and may be required at different stages of the homebuying process.

Check with your lender before starting any homebuyer counseling or education course to ensure that it will satisfy the requirements of your program.

Homebuyer counseling:

• Is provided one-on-one with a counselor or as an instructor-led course,
• Must be completed before closing and preferably before selecting a home, and
• Is highly comprehensive with focus on understanding the entire mortgage process and the responsibilities of homeownership.

Homebuyer counseling and education can help anyone who plans on purchasing a house in the near future, but is especially helpful for consumers who:

• Are struggling to build a large enough down payment
• Worry that their credit may not be strong enough to qualify for a prime rate mortgage
• Don't understand the monthly costs associated with owning a home
• Need to complete a homebuyer counseling or education course in order to qualify for a specialized loan program

Prospective homeowners have two primary options: one-on-one homebuyer counseling and self-guided homebuyer education courses.

Homebuyer Counseling

During a one-on-one homebuyer counseling session you'll work together with a trained counselor to review your finances and formulate a plan to help you find a home you can afford. The goal is to help you understand where you stand and what steps you'll need to take in order to save an adequate down payment, qualify for an affordable mortgage, and successfully manage the month to month costs of homeownership.

If applicable, your counselor may discuss available loan programs and their requirements.

You should leave your session with a budget, a clearly defined plan of action, and a certificate of completion (if applicable).

Online Homebuyer Education Courses

In additional to live, one-on-one homebuyer counseling, MMI also offers online homebuyer education courses. 

What types of homebuyer counseling and education do you offer?
We offer a variety of homebuyer counseling and education programs to satisfy most loan requirements.

These courses are self-paced, engaging, and mobile-friendly. All courses are available in both English and Spanish. Each course is designed to prepare you for every facet of the home buying process. You can sign-up and begin a course at any time.

After successfully completing your program, you’ll receive an action plan and a homebuyer counseling and education certificate.

Check with your lender to see what type of certificate you need before starting.

What is Down Payment Assistance?
Down payment assistance is usually a loan or grant provided by a third party, although some assistance programs offer tax breaks instead. These programs are typically funded by government agencies, charities, or private foundations. Assistance can work in a variety of ways.

For example, the Chenoa Fund is a program that offers eligible FHA-insured home loan borrowers 3.5% of the home’s purchase price as a 0% interest second mortgage with a 30-year term. This interest-free second mortgage helps cover the cost of the down payment and is typically forgiven as long as the borrower makes 36 consecutive, on-time payments on the first mortgage.

Most programs are similar, offering funds at little or no interest to help cover the down payment. They may even offer loan forgiveness under certain circumstances.

Eligibility

• A homeowner is eligible for counseling if
  the loan is secured by the homeowner’s principal residence.
• the home loan is not assisted by the Farmers Home Administration.
• the homeowner is, or is expected to be, unable to make payments, correct
  a home loan delinquency within a reasonable time, or resume full home
  loan payments because of a loss in income owing to
  –     an involuntary loss of, or reduction in, the homeowner’s employment, the homeowner’s self-employment, or income from the pursuit of the homeowner’s occupation; or
  –     any similar loss or reduction experienced by any person who contributes to the homeowner’s income            Contents of notice :
• The notice must:
  1. notify the homeowner of the availability of any homeownership counseling offered by the creditor.
  2. provide either a list of HUD-approved nonprofit homeownership counseling organizations or the toll-free number3 HUD has established through which a list of such organizations may be obtained.
  Timing of notice:
  1.The notice must be given to a delinquent homeowner borrower no later

Who Qualifies for Down Payment Assistance?
Down payment assistance programs are highly localized, so the required qualifications will be unique to each program. However, a few common qualifications apply to many programs, including the following:

• You’re a first-time homebuyer
• You’re a low-income borrower (check the program’s income requirements)
• The down payment assistance program is directly connected to select loan programs
• You may be required to use a specific list of participating lenders for your mortgage

Additionally, most programs require that the property being purchased will be your primary residence. In other words, people looking to buy a second house or a rental property wouldn’t qualify for down payment assistance.

What is Required to Be Accepted into a Program?
Different down payment assistance programs have different requirements. Some may require that you complete first-time homebuyer counseling (or an online course). Some may require that you participate in a support program to ensure that you successfully manage your payments. Some may offer benefits for consistently making full, on-time payments (or penalties for failing to do so).

The online course prices range from $35 to $99.

Pre-Purchase / First Time Homebuyer Counseling: Fee is $149.
Intended for consumers planning on buying a home and interested in understanding more about the process. (Includes a complete review of the homebuyers’ current finances and an overview of the costs and considerations that come with owning a home.)

High-Cost Loan Counseling: Fee is $159.
Intended for consumers closing on a “high-cost” mortgage. The Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA) defines high-cost mortgages as loans where the annual percentage rate (APR) is substantially higher than the average prime rate offer for similar mortgages. (HOEPA requires that consumers receive homebuyer counseling to understand the costs and other implications of such a loan before the loan can be closed.)

HomeREACH Mortgage Prep Program: Fee varies on total # of check-ins.
Designed for consumers interested in homeownership who may not currently qualify for a mortgage because of credit issues, a poor debt-to-income ratio, or other reasons.
Begins with an initial session to determine what needs to be addressed, followed by monthly check-ins to monitor progress, and capped with a final counseling session when you’re ready to purchase a home.

Online homebuyer education courses
Self-paced online homebuyer education courses are available to begin anytime. For program details, visit our course listing.

Check with your lender before beginning an online homebuyer education course to ensure that it satisfies the requirements of your loan program.

For seniors who need income in retirement a reverse mortgage might seem like a no-brainer. After all, you worked hard for your home, why not draw on the equity you built up? A reverse mortgage might serve you well, but there are a number of critical issues you need to consider before you can make the right decision. Consulting with a GreenPath housing expert can help you understand the cost involved and the benefits.

We’ll explain how it works, including payout options, homeowner costs, tax implications, and other benefits and drawbacks. Once you complete our mortgage counseling session, you’ll receive a certificate that lenders require as part of the loan application. Call GreenPath today for a free session.

In order to qualify for a reverse mortgage you must be at least 62 years of age. The federal government also requires that you participate in a counseling session with an approved non-profit agency. GreenPath is certified and our reverse mortgage counseling can be completed over the phone or in person.

A reverse mortgage, also known as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), is a type of loan that allows homeowners 62 and older to convert part of the equity in their homes into tax-free income.

It can provide flexibility for senior homeowners who need additional funds for retirement, but it’s a complicated and sometimes risky financial tool, which is why lenders require you to work with a qualified expert to make sure you fully understand the terms of your reverse mortgage.

The most common type of reverse mortgage is as a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM). HECM’s are government-sponsored reverse mortgages, insured by the FHA, and require counseling before you can take out the loan.

What is reverse mortgage counseling?
Reverse mortgage counseling is an opportunity to work one-on-one with a HUD-certified reverse mortgage counselor to review all the potential risks and benefits of a reverse mortgage and ensure you’re making an informed decision. 

How it Works
During your reverse mortgage counseling session, your counselor will work with you to help explain how reverse mortgages work, the financial and tax implications of taking out a reverse mortgage, payment options, and costs associated with a reverse mortgage. Your counselor will also highlight available resources that you may find useful in meeting your financial needs. Counselors are not lenders or financial advisors. Your counselor's goal will be to help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision.

Upon completion of the counseling session, you will be issued a certificate of participation. If you choose to proceed with the loan process your lender(us) will likely require you to obtain an HECM counseling certificate, which MMI is proud to offer upon completion of our sessions.

Reverse mortgage counseling can be beneficial to anyone trying to decide if a reverse mortgage is a good option, but it’s generally only recommended for homeowners who have already made that decision and need to fulfill the HECM counseling certificate requirement associated with their loan program. If you’re actively weighing options and not yet committed to using a reverse mortgage, consider starting with a free credit counseling session instead.

Reverse mortgages are wonderful financial tools for certain individuals; however, it’s a very complex financial decision. If you are considering a reverse mortgage the first step is to talk with a reverse mortgage counselor.

Will this be reported to the IRS?
We do not report any information to the IRS. Your counseling session is confidential and your participation will not be disclosed to any third party without your permission.

Submit an online request to connect with a trained housing counselor here.

Schedule your Reverse Mortgage Counseling Session by calling Monday-Friday CT 8:00 am-5:00 pm at 866-834-0428

You can also contact us if you have other information here.

Eligibility:

They are only available to homeowners aged 62 and older (spouses can be under 62 and have the option to maintain the loan after the primary borrower dies).

Your home must be your principal residence, meaning you live there the majority of the year.

You must either own your home outright or have a low mortgage balance. Owning your home outright means you do not have a mortgage on it anymore. If you have a mortgage balance, you must be able to pay it off when you close on the reverse mortgage. You can use your own funds or money from the reverse mortgage to pay off your existing mortgage balance.

You cannot owe any federal debt, such as federal income taxes or federal student loans. You may, however, use money from the reverse mortgage loan to pay off this debt.

You must have enough of your own money or agree to set aside part of the reverse mortgage funds at your loan closing to pay ongoing property charges, including taxes and insurance, as well as maintenance and repair costs.

Your home must be in good shape. If your house does not meet the required property standards, the lender will tell you what repairs need to be made before you can get a reverse mortgage loan.

To be considered for a reverse mortgage, HUD’s Federal Housing Administration (FHA) requires that you participate in a counseling session with an approved nonprofit housing counseling agency. At completion of the session, the counselor will issue you a certificate that must be provided to the lender you choose to work with.

The borrower must be present during both required sessions, unless they have previously appointed someone to serve as their Attorney in Fact via a Power of Attorney. With the borrower’s permission, a family member or friend may attend the session with the borrower but may not speak on their behalf. All borrowers must be present and participate in the reverse mortgage discussion.

If you’re actively weighing options and not yet committed to using a reverse mortgage, consider starting with a free credit counseling session instead.

There is a fee of $199 to complete reverse mortgage counseling and receive your required HECM counseling certification. That fee is collected at the beginning of your counseling.

You'll be provided with a packet that includes information on the costs and benefits of doing a Reverse Mortgage.

In treatment, I utilize a myriad of treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Gottman Couples Counseling, and others. Pulling from these different modalities allows me to customize my sessions to ensure that each client's unique needs are met.

I feel that my biggest strengths are in treating trauma and counseling couples.

Within these two areas are several other issues such as:

• depression
• anxiety
• life stressors
• substance use
• several others that can get intertwined in treating trauma and relationship issues

These issues also have to be addressed and my strength lies in my ability to effectively address and treat these other issues.

My desire to also provide coaching to families and individuals impacted by various disabilities came from seeing a need through my journey navigating the world and its many systems. This service does not include counseling and is not therapy. In this type of coaching, I aim to provide holistic education, advocacy, and practical tools for anyone looking to support themselves, a loved one, an employee, or a friend who identifies with the disability community. I believe we all need people in our corner, and that the disability community is no different in regards to this!

Want to learn how to advocate for someone with a disability in your life? Are you a non-profit looking for training on disability, inclusion, and accessibility in your workplace? Need help navigating the medical system on behalf of your child living with a disability? Want more informative resources for your journey with a disability? Get practical tools, guidance, and resources for your specific needs from someone who understands the journey.

Coaching sessions are $50/hour for individuals. Group pricing is available upon request for schools, churches, and community groups.

Family therapy is a type of counseling that helps families deal with conflict mediation, communication, anger management, and other relational skills. It focuses on the family system, not just on individual family members.

When we address the root causes of mental health challenges by caring for the family as a whole, we can identify a more sustainable path to healing.

Grief occurs any time we experience loss. It appears after a clear loss, like the death of a loved one, or a loss like a divorce or loss of identity. Grief is a natural, normal process to help us get through and process the experience.

If you are unsure whether you are experiencing grief or finding it challenging to work through bereavement, grief counseling can offer support and helpful ways to bring meaning to the loss and allow you to move forward through your grief.

Stages of Grief

Though grief looks different for everyone, there are generally two phases of the grieving process. Acute grief is the first phase and occurs immediately after the loss. Integrated grief is the second phase, once the loss becomes less intense and disruptive.

Relationship Therapy

Most commonly referred to as “couples counseling” or “marriage counseling,” we choose to recognize the variety of romantic-emotional relationships that exist.

“Relationship therapy” is inclusive of couples:

• ex-partners
• co-parents
• polyamorous relationships
• other ways two or more people may connect

Most commonly, partners come into therapy wanting to improve communication. Counseling can help you to identify your communication styles and emotional patterns and to explore the personal and relationship histories that impact your behavior.

Relationship therapy can focus on preparing for your future such as:

• premarital counseling
• new ways of relating to each other
• navigating the same issues repeatedly

Family therapy is counseling that focuses on the relationship dynamics between two or more members of a family unit.

Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment?

Do you live in a more rural area, or maybe you prefer to just do things Virtually?

If so, we can help you through virtual therapy, or telehealth.

Telehealth allows us to provide counseling and therapy to our clients via live video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have a computer or smartphone.

Telehealth appointments can be very beneficial if getting to a traditional in-person appointment is not convenient, or you simply just don’t want to.

Our telehealth solution allows you to schedule an appointment directly online and have the entire therapy session take place digitally. While you don’t need a video camera, we do recommend you use one.

To learn more and get started with virtual therapy, please contact us today.
