For clients receiving telephone counseling, the agency must verbally or electronically provide a disclosure that meets these requirements.

- HPN HUD Counseling Work Plan Template: This is a participating agency’s plan that explains: (1) the needs and problems of the target population; (2) how the agency will address one or more of these needs and problems with its available resources; (3) the type of housing counseling services offered; (4) fee structure, if applicable; (5) the geographic service area to be served; and (6) the anticipated results (outcomes) to be achieved within the period of approval. When the plan is changed or amended, the agency must notify and provide a copy to HUD. An agency’s housing counseling work plan must also address, if appropriate, alternative settings and formats for the provision of housing counseling services. Alternative formats can include telephonic counseling or remote counseling systems designed using Skype technology, video cameras and the internet.
- Attachment G- FY19 Final Narrative Report Format: Similar to the Quarterly Narrative, the Final Narrative reflect the work performed during the reporting period as compared to the work planned. These narratives also include challenges on a larger scale that the agency may not be able to address and may therefore require HUD assistance. These reports should also include trend information or agency observations concerning housing industry changes that both positively and negatively impact housing counseling activities.
