Why HOPP

HOPP is New York’s primary foreclosure prevention safety net. BUL’s counseling helps homeowners avoid displacement and supports renters during eviction crises—renewal funding is essential for community stability.[16]

Action Items

  • Maintain exemplary performance metrics and timely case reporting through the HOPP data system.
  • Engage in statewide advocacy as legislators consider codifying HOPP, sharing BUL impact stories with the AG’s office.[17]
  • Coordinate with network intermediaries to confirm renewal procedures and deliverables.

Compliance Reminders

  • Ensure counselors maintain HUD certifications and required continuing education.
  • Keep case notes, outcome documentation, and outreach logs audit-ready.
  • Stay aligned with statewide communication plans for homeowner outreach and legislative updates.

Next Steps

Confirm renewal timelines with network leads, compile FY2025 success metrics, and prepare rapid-response communications if legislative support is needed to sustain the program.[17]
