Partners and Network
Creating alliances and effecting change.
One of the most important ways that the Homeownership Preservation Foundation makes a difference in the foreclosure prevention arena is through our network. By building alliances with other nonprofit leaders, the Foundation reaches more homeowners and helps prevent more foreclosures.
Counseling Partners
Our credit counseling partners are neutral third party resources providing education and counseling that helps homeowners overcome financial difficulties and stay in their homes.
Ten leading nonprofit credit-counseling agencies provide the credit counseling service. These include:
- Auriton Solutions
- ByDesign Financial Solutions
- Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Atlanta
- Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Central Florida
- Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Greater Dallas
- Consumer Credit Counseling Services of San Francisco
- Greenpath Debt Solutions
- Money Management International (MMI)
- Novadebt
- Springboard Nonprofit Consumer Credit Management
Statistics show that acting as a neutral third party, the Homeowner's HOPE™ Hotline helps homeowners better manage their personal finances. Our counseling partners provide homeowners with a specific, actionable plan that can help them avoid foreclosure. English and Spanish-speaking counselors are available nationwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

HOPE NOW, formed with the encouragement of the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is an alliance between counselors, mortgage market participants, and mortgage servicers to create a unified, coordinated plan to reach and help as many homeowners as possible. The members of this alliance recognize that by working together, they will be more effective than by working independently.

National Urban League
Through the launch of our partnership in 2006, the Homeownership Preservation Foundation will provide up to $1.2 million to the National Urban League over three years to provide free foreclosure prevention counseling and education to African-American homeowners in Houston, St. Louis, and Philadelphia, where minority foreclosure rates are high and rising. The program includes mortgage default counseling and post-purchase education.
