The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the HUD 223(f) Loan Program

The Federal Housing Administration was created in 1934 by the National Housing Act, in order to promote home construction and reduce unemployment. The FHA operates a range of loan insurance programs, but builds no properties and makes no loans. Today, the FHA is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and insures both single-family mortgages, and multifamily mortgages under the HUD 221(d)(4), HUD 223(f), HUD 232, and HUD 232/223(f) programs, among others.

How do I apply for a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan?

To apply for an FHA loan, you'll need to find an FHA licensed lender and get all your documentation and approval from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). You'll also need to fill out Byrd Amendment paperwork, which is intended to make sure no illegal lobbying or lobbyist-based conflicts of interest are likely to occur as a result of the project. Additionally, you'll need to submit Form HUD-92013, in which you must disclose any recent legal actions regarding parties involved in the project. This is especially important if the legal actions are related to delinquent federal debt. To check out the full list of documents you'll need to apply for an FHA loan, visit our FHA/HUD 221(d)(4) loan checklist.
