FHA Multifamily Mortgage Insurance Receives Another Reprieve in Congress

That program’s authority had been set to expire last fall, and Congress had passed interim measures to allow it to continue. But the last of those ran out on Dec. 5 and the agency’s authority to commit funds expired.

In just days, NAHB persuaded both houses of Congress to take action to ensure that HUD would have sufficient authority to continue the program until Jan. 31. By that time, the pending HUD appropriation is expected to have passed as part of an Omnibus Appropriations bill, which will allow the program to continue for the remainder of the fiscal year.

The program will be back up and running as soon as it receives a final okay from the Office of Management and Budget.
