Housing Counseling and Education

Target Audience: Home Owners, 1st Time Home Buyers and Seniors, HOAs

The PFC Coalition is very engaged in the community when it comes to Housing and Home Ownership Issues.  As Prince George’s County continues to lead the state with the highest number of home foreclosures, and home values are not increasing as other jurisdictions, our home owners are looking for answers and solutions. (View our recent report on housing and home ownership report)
