To find a HUD-approved housing counselor in your city, you can follow these steps:

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
  1. Visit the official HUD website: Go to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) site at hud.gov. This site provides resources for housing assistance.

  2. Use the HUD counselor search: On the HUD site, look for a link or a search function to locate housing counselors. This is typically labeled as “Find a Housing Counselor” or a similar phrase. (For example in San Antonio, TX)

  3. Select your state: Choose Texas from the drop-down menu or map interface provided on the HUD counselor search page.

  4. Narrow down to San Antonio: From the list of Texas counselors, narrow down your search to those located in San Antonio. You might be able to filter the search results by city or zip code for more precise results.

  5. Contact the counselor: Once you have identified potential counselors in San Antonio, reach out to them to inquire about their services. HUD-approved housing counselors usually offer advice on buying a home, renting, defaults, foreclosures, and credit issues.

Alternatively, you can call the HUD Interactive Voice Response System at (800) 569-4287 to speak with an agent who can provide you with a list of HUD-approved housing counseling agencies in your city.

IMPORTANT: Remember to verify that the counselor is HUD-approved, as this ensures they have met specific qualifications and can provide reliable guidance on housing-related issues.
