The Reverse Mortgage Education Project is a Network of counselors who are located in your state, or who have experience counseling homeowners in your state. The RMEP is administered by the AARP Foundation and funded by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Availability Table tells you when each counselor currently has openings for counseling appointments. Due to the popularity of the reverse mortgages the counselors are sometimes booked up for weeks at a time. Please check the box to the right of a counselor's phone number, if it says "YES" for "1-2 weeks," this means that you could get a counseling appointment with the counselor sometime within the next two weeks. Network counselors make every effort to keep their counseling availability information in this table up-to-date.

Emergencies! Only if you are facing a foreclosure or other similar emergency and need counseling immediately, you may call the RMEP at this "emergencies only" number: 202-434-6051 for direct assistance in getting a counseling appointment as soon as possible.
