SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The spread of COVID-19, which is now considered a 
        global pandemic, is expected to negatively impact the incomes 
        of potentially millions of homeowners, making it difficult for 
        them to pay their mortgages on time.
            (2) Housing counseling is critical to ensuring that 
        homeowners have the resources they need to navigate the loss 
        mitigation options available to them while they are 
        experiencing financial hardship.

SEC. 3. HUD COUNSELING PROGRAM AUTHORIZATION.
