ClearPoint’s counselors help consumers identify the causes of their individual financial problems and make a plan to address them. Free and low-cost services are available nationally by phone and Internet and via face-to-face counseling at our branch locations.

For 50 years, ClearPoint has provided financial counseling and education to our nation’s heroes as part of crisis counseling programs, but in recent years the nonprofit has seen an increasing need for services targeted to meet the needs of active duty military personnel and veterans. In response to this need, the agency created the ClearPoint ReConnect program. 

As a HUD National Intermediary, housing services are a key part of the ReConnect program.  Foreclosure prevention remains the primary service provided to active duty military personnel and veterans, but the ReConnect program offers a combination of counseling and education services.  This holistic program helps with a range of services, from foreclosure prevention to homeownership to basic budgeting and debt reduction.
