Celebrating 50 Years of the HUD Housing Counseling Program

The Office of Housing Counseling (OHC) is honored to mark the 50^th birthday of the Housing Counseling Program with all of you. To kick off the celebration, we asked you to share your birthday wishes by submitting short, cheerful videos – and you all went above and beyond!

We received over 40 videos from HUD-approved housing counseling agencies and stakeholders across the country showing their dedication to the housing counseling program with party favors, baked goods, and even puppets!

Your creativity and pride for the HUD Housing Counseling Program has only increased our excitement for reaching this incredible milestone!  We could not have done it without all of your hard work and dedication.

Visit the Happy 50^th Birthday website on HUD Exchange to watch the video, and then please share it with #HousingCounselingTurns50 on your social media channels!

Thank you for the birthday wishes, and more importantly, for all that you do for the HUD Housing Counseling Program!
