Are you a renter? Here’s how HIP can help

Guidance

HIP’s Bilingual Rental Counseling Program offers hands-on guidance and search tips to help you identify a suitable apartment, room or home to rent for your budget.

Spending Plan

We will review your credit report, help you improve your credit and develop a spending plan to increase savings, and connect you with available rental subsidies and other relevant programs.

Fair Housing

Our Certified Counselors can also help you resolve any issues you are having with your current landlord, or help you to file a Fair Housing complaint if needed.

Tax Credits

HIP can also determine if you’re eligible for the Maryland Renters Tax Credit of up to $1,000, and help you file the necessary paperwork.

Intake Packet

Clients who schedule a one-on-one counseling session will need to complete the below Intake forms and have your personal documents available.

HIP also offers virtual Information Sessions twice a week through Zoom. You can ask questions about COVID financial relief efforts.
