Use of Funds

Allowed Uses

Section 241(a) insures lenders against loss on loans made either (1) to finance additions and improvements of multifamily housing projects, nursing homes, hospitals and group practice facilities already subject to HUD/FHA insured mortgages or mortgages held by HUD, or (2) to finance energy conservation improvements. The proceeds of a loan involving an insured nursing home, hospital or a group practice facility may also be used to purchase equipment to be used in the operation of such nursing home or facility. The maximum insurable loan for an insured project is an amount which, when added to the outstanding balance of the existing insured mortgage, does not exceed the amount insurable under the program pursuant to which the mortgage covering such project or facility is insured. Where the project is covered by a mortgage held by the Secretary the principal amount of the loan shall be in an amount acceptable to the Secretary. Contractors of substantial rehabilitation projects must comply with prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act. Section 241(a) for apartments requires appropriated credit subsidy, which is limited.
