Section 207(c)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1713(c)(3)(A)); II. Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715e(b)(2)(A)); III. Section 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715k(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I)); IV.

The Dollar Amounts in these sections are the base per unit statutory limits for FHA's multifamily mortgage programs collectively referred to as the `Dollar Amounts.' They are adjusted annually (commencing in 2004) on the effective date of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB's) adjustment of the $400 figure in the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA) (Pub. L. 103-325, approved September 23, 1994). The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be calculated using the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as applied by the CFPB for purposes of the above-described HOEPA adjustment. The percentage change in the CPI-U used for the HOEPA adjustment is 1.9 percent and the effective date of the HOEPA adjustment is January 1, 2019. The Dollar Amounts under Section 206A have been adjusted correspondingly and have an effective date of January 1, 2019.
