HUD housing counseling resources.
If you are planning a container-home project, independent housing counseling can help you discuss housing goals and budgeting alongside your product research.
Find a participating counselor
HUD provides information and a search service for participating housing counseling agencies. You can also call HUD’s housing-counseling line at 800-569-4287 to ask for help locating an agency.
What to discuss
Ask about the housing decision you are considering, affordability, financing questions and the information you should gather before making a commitment. Available counseling services differ by agency.
Container-home project checks
Housing counseling is separate from equipment specifications and site approvals. Confirm the unit’s design, local land-use and building requirements, utility connections, foundations and installation responsibilities with the appropriate professionals.
