What is HECU?

The Housing Education Coalition of Utah's mission is to develop and promote homeownership programs, products and services for individuals throughout the state of Utah and to insure that all Utah residents have access to homebuyer education that adheres to a standardized curriculum and is taught by a nationally certified homebuyer education counselor.

The Coalition is comprised of Utah non-profit agencies that provide homeownership programs, products and services for individuals throughout the state of Utah. Our goal is to make sure that everyone has access to homebuyer education and other resources designed to help new homebuyers and existing homeowners. Coalition member agencies adhere to a strict code of ethics, provide a standardized education curriculum, and our counselors are nationally certified. Services offered to new homebuyers include homeownership education, as well as a variety of financial and credit counseling. Services offered to existing homeowners include post-purchase counseling, refinancing options, and foreclosure counseling/mitigation assistance. Most of these services are either free or offered at a minimal cost to you. Whether you would like to become a homeowner or you are struggling to stay in your home, there is a Coalition agency nearby that can help. The Coalition Members Directory is divided into regions of the state and lists specific services offered, making it easy for you to find the help you need.

There are also a number of agencies that provide financial assistance to income-qualified renters, homebuyers, and homeowners. These programs include affordable rental housing, down payment assistance, affordable homebuyer programs, homeowner rehabilitation grants and loans, and other forms of assistance.
