A Housing Counselor in Broomfield

Broomfield previously had a housing counselor thanks to Boulder County Housing and Human Services Housing Counseling Program. The counselor was available to meet with residents one-on-one in Broomfield to talk budget and credit, pre-purchase readiness, post-purchase planning, mortgage default and foreclosure intervention, and reverse mortgages. The one-on-one counseling is currently not available to Broomfield residents. We hope to have the Boulder County counselor back in Broomfield soon. In the meantime, Broomfield residents can attend the training classes that are available through Boulder County. See specific information below.
