FHA Multifamily Council

MBA’s FHA Multifamily Council provides a forum for identifying and discussing issues facing FHA MAP lenders, focusing on the production of FHA multifamily and healthcare loans. The committee is open to anyone who participates in FHA loan programs and actively acts as a forum to discuss regulatory and policy directives from HUD. The FHA Committee meets monthly.

Meeting Frequency: The Council meets virtually on the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 11:30am – 12:30pm Eastern time. The council meets in person at the CREF conference annually. The council also coordinates two in-person FHA roundtables per year in Washington, DC, featuring discussions with HUD leadership from the offices of multifamily housing and residential care facilities. These meetings are limited to MAP lenders, with a maximum of 2 per organization.

    What You Missed – The FHA Multifamily Council convened on Thursday, June 11th, to discuss the status of several new policies.

    The recission of the FFRMS flood rule will now be a proposed rule, expected to be published this summer. MBA will need to be ready to respond with robust comments. Legislation to increase the FHA statutory limits is moving forward in Congress.  HUD expects the LIHTC Express Lane processing ML to be published this summer.  The Council has a working group focusing on Davis bacon split wage decisions that is collecting examples to share with HUD Staff.  

    The next meeting of the FHA Multifamily Council will be held on Tuesday, July 14, at 11:30 AM EDT. For additional information or interest in participating, contact Megan Booth at [email protected].
