Counseling & Education

KulshanCLT is a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) -Approved Housing Counseling Agency.
If you need help, we offer free pre-purchase counseling to anyone in our community.

Pre-Purchase Counseling

Have you ever wondered what to do when you:

  • are tired of renting?

  • own a home but it’s not going well?

  • can’t get your finances under control?

  • are facing loss of income or major life changes?

Our housing counselors may be able to help or refer you to someone who can.

To schedule your pre-purchase counseling, call us at 360-671-5600 or email us. You’ll be asked to fill out an intake form, fill out a budget, and submit additional documentation that will help us help you.

Looking for Homebuyer Education Classes?
