Renters are defined as those who are currently renting their home but are not necessarily in the market to purchase a home. Potential renters are clients who are staying with friends or family, are living in a college dorm or other similar circumstances, and are looking for a place to rent. The homeless, for the purposes of the report, must meet the definition as outlined in the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. All independently HUD-approved housing counseling agencies are required to file a Form HUD 9902 whether or not they received housing counseling grant funds in Fiscal Year 1999. Affiliates that did not receive funding in Fiscal Year 1999 from the National Intermediary with which they are affiliated and were not individually HUD approved should not file a Form HUD 9902 report.
Main offices are responsible for including information from their branches.
The Internet version of Form HUD 9902 has a place for the preparer's name to be entered. Paper versions of Form HUD 9902 must be signed by the person with signature authority at your agency, who must include their title. If filing a paper 9902, it is also very helpful to include a telephone number for the signer so that the HCC has a contact number, in the event we have any questions regarding your submission. This information is already included in the Internet filing request form agencies need to complete to be assigned a password. If your agency received a housing counseling grant from HUD, the quarterly and semi-annual reports should be sent to the GTR responsible for monitoring your contract, at the regional Homeownership Center responsible for your State.
