Your GTR's name should appear on your grant award letter. A copy of your report must also be filed electronically, or if Internet access is not available, sent to the HCC by fax or at the address indicated above. If your agency does not have a process to track which clients are served under HUD housing counseling grant funds, you may use the following method to calculate that figure. The number of clients served with HUD housing counseling grant funds can be based on the percentage of your total housing budget these specific housing counseling grant funds represent. Homeowners are those persons who own their home outright, and do not have a mortgage against the property.
Mortgagors own their property, but have a mortgage on that property.
Potential mortgagors are those clients who wish to purchase housing, whether they are currently renting or staying with family or friends. 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.
