The National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling are a set of guidelines for quality homeownership education and counseling services.

Helping individuals and families to achieve the dream of homeownership is no small challenge. Homeownership education and counseling is a critical step in producing an informed consumer who is better equipped to sustain homeownership. Making the commitment to provide quality counseling and education services that strengthen long-term homeownership success takes a focused effort on the part of every stakeholder in the process. These Standards help practitioners and organizations serve families and communities with consistent service and professional excellence.

Organizations, educators, counselors, sponsors, and consumers are encouraged to learn more.
