Helpful Resources

Many prospective homebuyers work with financial coaches prior to applying to Habitat’s program.  This counseling helps ensure applicants meet the eligibility and financial requirements needed to qualify for a Habitat loan.    

In addition to financial counseling providers, we’ve also included contact lists for resources in the community that offer help with a wide variety of housing services and support.

Financial & Credit Counseling Services

If you’re a homeowner—Habitat or not—who’s facing financial hardship made worse by a predatory lender, there’s help via Denver’s Office of Financial Empowerment & Protection. You may qualify for a personal grant up to $1,500 for paying off high-interest, predatory loans. Learn more and apply by emailing FEC@denvergov.org, or calling 720-944-2498.
