National Industry Standards

In May 2007, CXHE publicly endorsed the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling which were created by an Advisory Council for the National Industry Standards.  These standards are a set of guidelines for quality education and counseling services in the homeownership field.  Organizations are encouraged to adopt these guidelines and incorporate them into everyday practice.  The Advisory Council included HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Reserve Board, National Council of State Housing Finance Agencies, lenders, and community groups and was staffed by NeighborWorks Center for Homeownership Education and Counseling.
