If you are behind on your mortgage and/or facing foreclosure, a Metro staff member that has been certified by HUD as a housing counselor will meet with clients in a face-to-face interview. Services provided include but are not limited to assisting the client with preparing a budget and negotiating with the mortgage company on behalf of the client in an effort to keep them in their home. Some of the possible workout plans are Forbearance Plan, Repayment Plan, Partial Claim (FHA only), Traditional Loan Modification, and Making Home Affordable Plan.

Metro's staff prepares Analysis to Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) for entitlement jurisdictions in the greater Atlanta area as well as anywhere in the country. Disclosure Act (HMDA) data, local zoning regulations, Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) material, housing patterns of minorities, mass transportation, and employment. Metro also reviews fair housing complaints in the area and seeks the input of elected officials, governmental housing employees, local citizens and other interested individuals of their views of barriers to fair housing. Metro then prepares a final document with recommendations to the entitlement jurisdiction.
