To amend the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 to provide reforms to housing counseling and financial literacy programs.
HR 6726 amends housing counseling programs under the 1968 Housing and Urban Development Act to improve oversight and effectiveness. It requires counseling organizations to serve diverse geographic areas (urban and rural) and mandates regular performance reviews by HUD, including evaluating counselors based on borrower default rates for covered loans. The bill also requires HUD to provide foreclosure mitigation counseling to borrowers 30+ days delinquent on FHA, VA, USDA, or similar loans, with costs covered by the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund if eligibility rules are met. These changes directly affect HUD-funded counseling agencies, mortgage counselors, and borrowers with specific loan types facing delinquency. The reforms focus on accountability, quality control, and expanding access to foreclosure prevention services.
