🏠Proposed Changes to FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums Impacting Business
On March 31, 2016, HUD published a notice reducing mortgage insurance premiums (MIPs) for qualifying loans under three newly established MIP rate categories: Green and Energy Efficient Housing, Affordable Housing, and Broadly Affordable Housing. On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a presidential memorandum, "Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of- Living Crisis", which directed agencies to deliver price relief to the American people, as well as an Executive Order on Unleashing American Energy. To meet these goals, this notice proposes to reduce MIPs to 0.25% for all FHA Multifamily Insurance Programs. This notice further proposes to eliminate the MIP categories established in 2016, which are misaligned with the presidential memoranda and would become economically obsolete.

Learn More🏘️Implications of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Revisions
This interim final rule revises HUD's regulation governing the Fair Housing Act's mandate that the Secretary administer HUD's program and activities in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. This interim final rule returns to the original understanding of what the statutory AFFH certification was prior to 1994--a general commitment that grantees will take active steps to promote fair housing. Grantee AFFH certifications will be deemed sufficient provided they took any action during the relevant period rationally related to promoting fair housing, such as helping eliminate housing discrimination. This interim final rule does not, however, reinstate the obligation to conduct an Analysis of Impediments or mandate any specific fair housing planning mechanism; program participants must continue to affirmatively further fair housing as and to the extent required by the Fair Housing Act.
