HOUSING PROGRAM

Our skilled Housing Counselors are HUD certified and trained through Neighborworks, UnidosUS, and the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation.

First Time Homebuyers

Your homeownership dream can come true with the help of Project BRAVO’s HUD Certified housing counseling. Our Housing Counselors offer homeownership education classes, seminars and one-on-one counseling. Successful completion of our 10 hour program ensures potential homeowners access to down payment assistance from banks and government programs.

The classes and one-on-one counseling will cover the following topics:

The terminology and steps to getting a mortgage
A personalized review of your credit and strategies to improve your score
Know your rights in the homebuying process
Strategies to pay off debt
Building good savings habits
Current programs that offer assistance with down payment and closing costs

Foreclosure Prevention

Are you struggling to make your mortgage payments or already missed a payment? You must act fast and contact Project BRAVO’s Foreclosure Prevention Program. A Housing Counselor will work with you to assess your situation and provide options that may save your home from foreclosure. In Texas you may have as little as 60 days to resolve your foreclosure so contact the Housing Department as soon as possible to talk to a HUD Certified Housing Counselor.
