26、Assistant Secretary for Housing, HUD 266.5 Mortgage Credit Demonstrations, pro-vides new independent insurance au-thority that is not under the National Housing Act. (2) Section 542(c) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 specifically directs the Secretary to carry out a pilot progra
27、m of risk-shar-ing with qualified State and local hous-ing finance agencies (HFAs). The quali-fied HFAs are authorized to underwrite and process loans. HUD will provide full mortgage insurance on affordable multifamily housing projects processed by such HFAs under this program. Through risk-sharing
28、agreements with HUD, HFAs contract to reimburse HUD for a portion of the loss from any de-faults that occur while HUD insurance is in force. (3) The extent to which HUD will di-rect qualified HFAs regarding their un-derwriting standards and loan terms and conditions is related to the propor-tion of
29、the risk taken by an HFA. (b) Purpose. The primary purpose of this pilot program is to test the effec-tiveness of providing new forms of credit enhancement for multifamily loans, i.e., utilization of full insurance by HUD, pursuant to risk-sharing agreements with qualified housing fi-nance agencies,
30、 for the development of affordable housing. The utilization of Federal credit enhancements should in-crease access to capital markets and, thereby, increase the supply of afford-able multifamily housing. By permit-ting HFAs to underwrite, process, and service loans and to manage and dis-pose of prop

33、lies whose income is 60 percent or less of the area median income as determined by HUD, with adjustments for house-hold size.
