Explanation (Required):
If additional space is needed for Explanation, please include an additional page.
HelpCenter Authorization / Disclosure
I understand that RIHousing provides foreclosure prevention counseling (“Counseling”) and I request that RIHousing provide me
such assistance. An overview of the range of Counseling services that I am entitled to receive is set forth on Attachment A. I
understand that I have a choice with respect to HUD-approved counseling agencies, and I am not required to use RIHousing to
provide counseling.
I authorize RIHousing to contact my mortgage lender or servicer (collectively,
the “Mortgagee”) on my behalf regarding any loan secured by my property located at
the “Loan”) and to obtain from such Mortgagee any information regarding my Loan that RIHousing deems necessary to provide
the Counseling.
I have provided RIHousing information regarding my personal finances and authorize RIHousing to obtain a credit report on me
in order to provide the Counseling (this information, along with the information obtained from the Mortgagee, the “Financial
Information”).
I understand and agree that RIHousing will use the Financial Information to evaluate my options regarding the Loan and to develop an
action plan consisting of recommendations for handling of the Loan and my finances, which will be presented to me.
I authorize RIHousing to share the Financial Information with the Mortgagee and to discuss the Loan and the Financial Information
with the Mortgagee. I understand that I may or may not be present during these discussions.
I may be referred to other housing services of RIHousing or another agency or agencies as appropriate that may be able to assist with
particular issues that have been identified. I understand that I am not obligated to use any of the services offered to me. I understand
that RIHousing provides a variety of lending and mortgage products, including: mortgage loans to low- and moderate-income
homebuyers and homeowners; home repair loans; septic system replacement loans; sewer tie- in loans; lead abatement loans; and
loans for home modification to assist disabled residents. The loans described above may also be originated by participating lenders or
third-party brokers, who are compensated by RIHousing for their origination services. I further understand that I am not obligated to
use or receive any other products or services from RIHousing or its participating lenders or brokers.
RIHousing offers a variety of mortgage-related services, including first-time homebuyer training and landlord training. I
understand that I am not obligated to use or receive any of these other services from RIHousing. If I already receive mortgage-
related services from RIHousing, I understand that I am not obligated to use RIHousing for Counseling services and may choose
from among HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.
I understand that RIHousing’s HelpCenter is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) certified counseling
agency and that, as such, RIHousing may receive federal funds from HUD or another funding source. Due to the nature of these
relationships, RIHousing may be required to make information relating to my loan, my financial information, and any other information
in my counseling file available to HUD or another funding source for program monitoring and compliance purposes. Further, I authorize
RIHousing, HUD, or any other funding source to contact me for program evaluation purposes.
I understand that a counselor may answer questions and provide information, but not provide legal advice. Counseling is not a
substitute for legal advice. If I want legal advice, I will be referred for appropriate assistance.
I acknowledge that I have received a copy of RIHousing’s Privacy Policy.

Attachment A
Outline of Counseling Services
The following is an outline of the Counseling Services which are provided as part of this program.
1. The Intake Counselor reviews the homeowner’s financial situation. In order to complete this review, the counselor obtains a credit
report and collects income and expense documentation. This allows the Counselor to analyze the homeowner’s financial capacity
and determine if there is a hardship.
2. If, based upon this intake and initial file, mortgage fraud is suspected, we may refer the case to the Consumer Protection Division
of the Rhode Island Attorney General and the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation.
3. Based on the review of the information developed through the intake, and any supplemental information submitted, we will work
with you to develop an action plan to seek relief, including steps you may need to take to control household expenses, and any
additional documents you must submit.
4. We will review your situation to determine potential eligibility for loss mitigation options using investors and lenders
proprietary programs.
5. If appropriate, we will inform you of other local programs and resources that may be available to assist you. Examples of
these services and programs include Food Stamps, Heating Assistance programs, Community Action Program agencies,
alternative housing options, financial management assistance (through Money Management International), legal assistance
(through Rhode Island Legal Services or the Rhode Island Bar Association), and the like.
6. If appropriate, we will assist you in preparing a hardship letter for submission to your lender/servicer to support your request for a
work out option. We will maintain communication with you and your lender/servicer to monitor the status of your loan workout
request and to ensure that all necessary documentation is submitted on time.
7. We will review and evaluate any written work out proposal you receive from your lender/servicer to help you determine whether
to accept the proposal.
8. We will ask you whether you have been offered questionable mortgage foreclosure prevention assistance, including proposals
that guarantee a successful outcome; require payment in advance of the provision of assistance; require that you stop making
mortgage payment or require redirection of your mortgage payments to someone other than your lender/servicer; involve signing
over title to your home to a third-party. If we suspect that improper practices are present we will report the practices to the
Consumer Division of the Rhode Island Attorney General and the Loan Modification Scam alert website.

Form 1065, Form 1120, Form 1120-A, Form 1120-H, Form 1120-L, and Form 1120S. Return transcripts are available for the current year

WHAT DOES RIHOUSING DO WITH YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Why?
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information. Federal law gives
customers the right to limit some but not all sharing. Federal law also gives customers the right to
view personal records, and to correct a record that is inaccurate or incomplete. Federal law
requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information.
We provide this notice to customers at the time of application for RIHousing programs, products,
or services, and annually thereafter. From time to time, we may revise this notice to reflect
changes in the law or changes in our policies. Please read this notice carefully to understand what
we do.
