Summary

This notice serves to inform members of the public and affected program participants of changes to the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase program that HUD intends to make in a future update to HUD's Single Family Housing Policy Handbook. Pursuant to the FHA Commissioner's ("Commissioner") regulatory authority, FHA will expand the list of acceptable funding sources used to satisfy the borrower's monetary investment requirement and will permit additional interested party contributions. This notice also informs the public that FHA will remove existing restrictions that prohibit the borrower from accepting cash from a seller or another person or entity that financially benefits from the HECM for Purchase transaction. This notice seeks public comment on these changes.
