About Hpp Cares

HPP CARE CDE, a California nonprofit certified HUD Approved consumer credit, debt and housing counseling agency, understands the challenges the average person faces when it comes to being overextended with debt. We are committed to educating consumers, with an emphasis on financial matters. Our certified HUD Approved housing counselors provide personal assistance through budget counseling, housing counseling and debt management strategies to lower credit card interest rates and monthly payments. It is unfortunate that in 2022 key skills regarding the management of household finances are lacking from traditional education. This leads many to learn these lessons the hard way, putting them in difficult positions from which it can be hard to recover. Our agency implements the latest multilingual technology while bridging the divide to ensure consumers have access to the resources and the knowledge, they need to make sound decisions and better their financial situations.

Progress

HPP CARES CDE's accomplishments these past few years have been significant and all-encompassing; striving to advocate under the National Coalition for Equities’ umbrella to maintain a powerful community voice among the Federal and State regulators and major private sector corporations to address public policy issues, and to focus on the wealth & income inequality affecting affordable homeownership and small business growth. With the NCFE, HPP CARES CDE’s outreach efforts have led to an increase in corporate social responsibility and consumer protection. We have been able to reach more people, collaborate with more companies, meet with more regulators, all in the name of helping deserving individuals become sustainable homebuyers, successful small business owners, protected consumers and empowering California communities. HPP CARES CDE is at the forefront of helping people of color become partners in our mission to reduce income and wealth inequality and build stronger futures for all minority groups.
