As of August 1, 2021, if an agency does not have a sufficient number of HUD certified housing counselors to implement the agency’s approved Housing Counseling Work Plan, the agency must adjust its Housing Counseling Work Plan, with approval from HUD, to reflect its available resources or hire a sufficient number of HUD certified housing counselors to carry out the agency’s Housing Counseling Work Plan.
