How to Apply
Award Procedure
The local HUD Multifamily Hub or Satellite Office reviews the application to determine whether the proposal is feasible. Considerations include market need, zoning, architectural merits, capabilities of sponsors, availability of community resources, etc. If the project meets program requirements, the HUD Multifamily Hub or Satellite Office issues the lender a commitment to insure the project mortgage.
Processing time depends upon the degree of preparation by the sponsor and whether or not TAP or MAP is used. Processing time goals are to complete a review of a final "Firm Commitment Application" within 90 days of HUD processing, which 90 days would exclude time during which a borrower is responding to certain HUD requests, for example, for clarifying data or needed documents.
