HUD may in the future proceed with the program or a revised program; however, HUD would, at a minimum, have to determine the following before proceeding: (a) If the Initiative is still needed to provide debt financing to small, affordable properties, or whether the availability of long-term, low-cost permanent financing to support small properties has increased substantially since the Initiative was first proposed, specifically through new and expanded federally backed financing programs offered through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; (b) The regulatory requirements and restrictions that would be imposed on property owners/borrowers participating in the Initiative regarding tenant rents and incomes, and whether these requirements would impose unfair and inappropriate economic burden on small property owners who provide affordable market rents but do not otherwise receive a government funded housing subsidy; (c) Whether existing Federal Housing Administration multifamily lending programs, including the newly expanded Tax Credit Pilot Program which supports new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects, adequately serve the debt financing needs of small properties that support affordable rental housing; and, (d) If the provisions of the Initiative as published adequately account for HUD’s share of risk assumed for loans originated under the Initiative, or need to be modified in a revised Initiative notice.
