Department of Housing and Urban Development April 10, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with HUD regulations, this notice announces changes of the mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) for certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Multifamily Housing, Health Care Facilities, and Hospital Mortgage Insurance programs for commitments to be issued or reissued in FY 2013. The MIP for market-rate New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation loans under Sections 207, 213, 220, 221(d)(4), 231, 232, and 242 is proposed to increase by 20 basis points and 223(a)(7) loans by 5 basis points; with a 15 basis point increase for all other market-rate multifamily housing, health care facility, and hospital loans. The increases will not apply to Low Income Housing Tax Credit Loans, other affordable housing loans for HUD-assisted properties, or loans insured under FHA's Risk Sharing programs. These MIP increases will not only provide additional protection for the GI/SRI fund and increase receipts to the Treasury, but will also encourage private lending to return to the market by ensuring FHA is not under-pricing its risk. In addition to announcing MIPs for FY 2013, this notice also announces that a positive credit subsidy obligation will not be required in FY 2013 for loans under any of the active mortgage insurance programs for multifamily housing or health care facilities.
