Belair-Edison Neighborhoods, Inc. is an Adopter of the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling!
BENI is now a certified adopter of the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Counseling, Homeownership Education, and Foreclosure Intervention Counseling.

The National Industry Standards for Homebuyer Education and Counseling Standards created this program to hold local nonprofit counseling agencies to a high standard of excellence, ensuring that consumers are provided the most consistent and critical information, advice and guidance.

The Standards were developed in collaboration with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other leading housing industry representatives, working together to protect the best interests of the consumer and provide a way for counseling organizations to demonstrate accountability and commitment.

“Consumers who are having trouble making their mortgage payments or considering buying a home should contact one of nearly 1,000 local nonprofit housing counseling organizations, like Belair-Edison Neighborhoods, Inc., that have adopted the Standards,” said Jayna Bower, director of the NeighborWorks® Center for Homeownership Education and Counseling (NCHEC).
