Abstract

This increased demand for foreclosure counseling has put a strain on housing counseling centers across the country. With little to no demand for pre-purchase counseling, counseling centers have had to internally reorganize their staff and services to meet the growing outside demands. The demand for foreclosure prevention has brought to the surface a few challenges of providing housing counseling services. All of the challenges stem from the main problem of the financial crisis the United States, and the world, are currently facing. While this has had many different affects on every aspect of the economy, families are being hit hardest in the rising costs of housing and transportation. These increased costs to families have given rise to the increased demand for housing, especially foreclosure, counseling services.
