In your corner
new
The wizard now speaks six languages

Run the down payment assistance wizard in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, or Tagalog. The language picker now greets you on the intro and stays with you on every step through your results.

new
Matching that checks every fact

Results now weigh everything a program actually publishes: purchase-price caps, household size, city and county limits, and expiration dates. And when something still needs confirming, your results say “may qualify — confirm this” instead of guessing.

new
Almost eligible? We’ll say why

When you’re one confirmable fact away from a program, your results now show the thing to check instead of hiding the program.

new
Your matches stay fresh

Programs change all the time. A nightly re-check keeps your saved matches current and drops a note in your inbox when a program you’re watching changes.

new
Find a HUD-approved counselor, anywhere

Search the counselor finder by ZIP, state, or county, set your own radius, and see exactly what area your results cover. On the web and in the mobile app.

new
Your counseling journey, in one place

Working with a counseling agency? A new home brings your sessions, bookings, uploads, and privacy choices together.

new
Tell others how it went

Leave a structured review for your pro — step by step, one question at a time — plus private feedback only they can see. On web and mobile.

new
Pros: hand your buyers a counselor list

Search the same HUD roster your buyers see, save reusable lists, send fact cards to up to 50 buyers at once, or export a co-branded, printable handout.

new
Pros: save programs straight from the list

Star any program right in the directory, or select several and save them all in one action.

new
For counseling agencies: a complete client workspace

HUD counseling agencies get client files, e-signatures, classes and certificates with public verification, and intake forms in six languages.

improved
A setup checklist that tells the truth

For pros: progress now reflects what you’ve actually done, and the first steps are the ones that help a real buyer.

improved
Program cards say more

The “things to keep in mind” now appear right on the card, and an amount only shows when a program actually publishes one.

improved
Invite links that just work

A wizard link from your pro now signs you in, connects your results to them automatically, and lasts a full day.

improved
Bring your whole team

Lender organizations can now invite their own loan officers, underwriters, and processors — no support ticket needed.

fixed
Search that finds things

Typing a ZIP or state into the counselor finder now actually searches, and a statewide search returns the whole state instead of a circle around its middle.

fixed
The match-count email matches the app

The wizard-complete email could understate how many programs matched; it now reports the same total you see in the app.

fixed
The mobile menu works again

The marketing-site menu could collapse behind the page and hide sign-in; it’s reachable everywhere now.
