Workshops and Training for Counselors

Housing counseling training

If your organization is a New Homes Loan Pool or Self-Help Loan Pool member or you are a participant in the IDA Loan Pool, your borrowers through these programs will need to complete HUD-certified housing counseling. Your organization can either offer the counseling itself or partner with a counseling organization in your community.

If you are an individual seeking to become certified in housing counseling, contact the North Carolina Association of Housing Counselors.

If your organization is seeking to become certified in housing counseling, contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD-approved housing counseling organizations must be nonprofit, demonstrate a commitment to their proposed service area, and have experience administering housing counseling programs.

Reverse mortgage and predatory lending counseling training

Federal regulations and North Carolina law require that homeowners applying for reverse mortgages or considering high-cost loans must receive counseling. The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency offers training in reverse mortgage and predatory lending counseling.

The Agency offers this training for those who work in the following areas:

• HUD-approved counseling agency
• Legal services office
• Local/regional aging services program.

The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency offers Reverse Mortgage training workshops for staff working in qualified non-profit organizations who are interested in becoming recertified or certified as a reverse mortgage counselor. To find out information about an upcoming workshop, please contact Keir Morton-Manley at or 919-877-5634.

If you are interested in becoming certified in either reverse mortgage or predatory lending, please contact Keir Morton-Manley at or 919-877-5634.
