FHA/HUD Multifamily Policy
It is critical to maintain FHA as an efficient source of financing to support rental apartments and residential healthcare facilities.
Share to
In connection with FHA multifamily and healthcare programs, MBA will advocate for:
- stable and sufficient resources and commitment authority to support the development of rental housing at all levels;
- reduction of regulatory barriers, including raising statutory loan limits, that are consistent with the current economic environment;
- flexibility in HUD underwriting, production, and asset management;
- improved efficiency, integration, and effectiveness of HUD’s technology infrastructure;
- consistency in policy across all HUD regions;
- a simplified and streamlined LIHTC program; continued transformation of HUD operations, with opportunity for ongoing industry input; and
- removal of the disruptive application of Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rate requirements.
