Statement of Counseling Services– Housing Workshop

Please read the following statements carefully so that you will understand the procedures for the workshop.  Check the box at the end to confirm you have read the statement. For simplification the singular is used even when the plural may apply.

  • I understand Apprisen will provide a comprehensive housing education workshop.
  • I understand that I am not obligated to receive, purchase, or use any other services in order to receive counseling. Other products/services offered by Apprisen may be available through other sources.

  • I understand that in the event I am dissatisfied, I can utilize the Complaint Resolution Process as outlined on the bottom of this text.
  • I understand that most of the agency funding comes from voluntary contributions from creditors who participate in Debt Management Plans (DMP). Since creditors have a financial interest in being paid, most are willing to make a contribution to help fund this agency. The agency will work with all creditors regardless of whether they contribute to the agency.
  • I understand that if I receive counseling relating to housing issues, information about my counseling session may be shared with funding sources for reporting and billing purposes. Funding sources could include the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), or State Housing Grants Authorities.
  • I hold the agency, its employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any claim, suit, action or demand of my creditors, myself or any other person resulting from advice or counseling.
  • I understand that I will be given handouts/materials during this workshop on topics related to:
    • The realtor’s role in the home buying process.
    • Budgeting.
    • The role of the lender.
