Asset building has become an increasingly important component of
social welfare policy in recent years. For families seeking to
build assets through home ownership, raising credit scores is often
a key element of their prepurchase efforts. Low income and minority
families in particular can struggle with poor credit scores and
seek Homeownership Education and Counseling (HEC) services to
assist them to raise their credit score and access affordable
mortgage credit. This book examines the effectiveness of credit
counseling within HEC services on credit scores. Quantitative data
were gathered via preand one year post-counseling credit scores
from 203 clients who obtained pre-purchase credit counseling.
Qualitative findings from a focus group of HEC credit counselors
shed light on the role of credit counselors in HEC services and
difficulties encountered in interfacing with the sub-prime mortgage
market. This book is addressed to community development, mortgage
finance and public policy professionals and researchers.
