Applicants seeking a waiver to any KHC policy or requirement must submit a waiver request and pay a fee.

HUD Extends Housing Counselor Certification Deadline to August 1, 2021
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has extended the deadline for housing counselors to become HUD certified to Sunday, August 1, 2021. As stated in the interim final rule posted to the Federal Register on August 5, the extension is needed because the pandemic caused the shutdown of the testing centers where housing counselors take the certification examination, thus preventing a large number of housing counselors from becoming  certified by the original deadline. Because maintaining the original deadline would result in a loss of Federal funding for some HUD-approved housing counseling agencies and loss of the ability to provide counseling that is required or provided in numerous HUD programs, including HOME, HUD decided to extend the deadline.
