Housing Success | What We Do
Housing Counseling
Our homes are so much more than just walls and a roof. They’re where we sleep, eat, play, and dream. That’s why it’s so important to us that you are in a safe, sustainable, and secure housing situation. Clarifi’s certified housing counselors can help with a variety of housing issues. This includes maintaining a rental, purchasing a home, or preventing a foreclosure. We’ll walk with you every step of the way.
Housing counseling always starts with us listening to you. Our counselors will work to understand your unique situation, challenges, and goals. From there, your counselor will work with you to create a step-by-step action plan and connect with relevant resources and assistance programs. Here’s some of what can do:
- Homeownership Goal Planning
- Home Purchase guidance
- Renter/Tenant guidance
- Homebuyer grant applications
- Mortgage delinquency negotiation
- Foreclosure conciliation
- Eviction mediation
- Emergency mortgage and rental assistance applications
Counseling doesn’t stop after your first appointment, either. Your Clarifi counselor will reach out to you periodically to see how you’re doing and how else we can help. And if you feel like you need more help, you can book as many sessions with your counselor as you need, dependent on their availability.
Call 215-563-5665 to schedule an appointment.
