How to get started

1

Call Neighborhood Housing Services at (305) 751-5511. 

2

You’ll be connected to a housing counselor. You might say, “Hi, I am facing foreclosure or my house is in foreclosure and I need assistance. Can you tell me what services are available?”

3

A housing counselor will ask about your situation and take down your information. They will ask you to fill out this intake form online.

4

After you complete the intake form you’ll be assigned a housing counselor to help you with your housing situation.

Information you’ll need to provide

A housing counselor will ask you for a few documents once they assess your situation. If you need help finding these, they will work with you. Requested information will depend on the services you are being connected to. You will likely need to provide the following:

  • Copy of your photo ID like a driver’s license or state ID. 
  • A way to show your income like your most recent pay stubs.

Helpful tips

  • Fill out the intake form even if you’re not signing up for home buying assistance. Although the intake form appears to be centered around Homebuyer Education, you’ll still need to fill it out. The intake form is required for anyone looking for foreclosure assistance. 
  • If you need help filling out the intake form, reach out. A housing counselor can assist you over the phone or you can schedule an appointment to meet in person.
