About HOC
The Housing Opportunities Collaborative (HOC) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt HUD approved counseling intermediary, established in 2005 by a coalition of HUD approved housing counseling and fair housing agencies, other housing related nonprofit organizations, business organizations, and government agencies that support all aspects of housing rights and responsibilities. It was created to serve as an information clearinghouse by consolidating housing and related information, making it easily accessible to the public and partners. To improve the delivery of services to the community, the HOC developed the Virtual Counselor Network (VCN) in 2013 to digitally connect social services agencies and partner organizations to the community using the power of technology. HOC through its collaborative partnerships has assisted to date more than 30,000 individuals on various topics, namely, home buying, foreclosure prevention, reverse mortgage, financial coaching, credit and debt management, tax preparation, tenant-landlord education, and fair housing.
