• Make an appointment with the Housing Counselor to begin processing your personal intake form. Have your documents ready. (See the document checklist in your packet). Meet with the Housing Counselor for a personal and financial assessment and develop a plan to resolve any credit or financial issues. Discuss your goals towards purchasing a home and devise a plan for the next steps towards ownership. It is good to write down any questions you may have ahead of time, and bring a list with you during your consultation. Take good notes.
