Source: Abt Associates survey <strong>of</strong> <strong>HUD</strong>-approved counseling agencies.<br />

Note: Based on survey responses <strong>of</strong> 1,131 agencies.<br />

Finally, Exhibit 3-15 shows the number <strong>of</strong> clients by type assisted by agencies with different client<br />

specializations. As shown, the vast majority <strong>of</strong> rental <strong>and</strong> homeless counseling clients are served by<br />

agencies that specialize in rental or homeless counseling <strong>and</strong> agencies that do not specialize in any<br />

type <strong>of</strong> counseling. Agencies that primarily serve in pre-purchase clients <strong>and</strong> pre- <strong>and</strong> post-purchase<br />

clients account for large majority <strong>of</strong> pre-purchase clients. Post-purchase delinquency counseling<br />

clients <strong>and</strong> other post-purchase clients are split among agencies specializing in post-purchase clients,<br />

pre- <strong>and</strong> post-purchase clients, <strong>and</strong> agencies with no counseling specialization (i.e., that serve a mix<br />

<strong>of</strong> pre-purchase, post-purchase, <strong>and</strong> rental/homeless counseling clients).<br />
