About Us

Smart Money Housing is part of the Smart Women Smart Money Educational Foundation (SWSM) which is a non-profit HUD-certified housing counseling agency located on the west side of Chicago. Our original mission was to provide financial literacy conferences to women throughout the state of Illinois. However, our organization has evolved and is currently concentrating on housing counseling for both men and women in Cook County, Kane, Peoria and Will Counties.

Since 2001 SWSM has provided counseling to over 11,000 people in Illinois. This was accomplished through both group and individual sessions addressing money & debt management, saving and investing, purchasing a home, avoiding foreclosure, refinancing & loan modification, credit score information, reverse mortgages, identity theft and credit card education.
