Office of Multifamily Housing
The Office of Multifamily Housing (MFH) Programs provides mortgage insurance originated by FHA-approved lenders to facilitate the construction, rehabilitation, repair, refinancing, and purchase of multifamily rental housing properties. In addition, we administer rental assistance and preservation programs to provide stability, climate resilience, energy efficiency, affordability, and increased access to safe and affordable housing for the nation’s workforce, low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities.
The Office of Asset Management is starting the process to update the Multifamily Asset Management and Project Servicing Handbook. Public feedback is requested to improve the implementation and operational efficiency of multifamily projects for its internal asset management team, property owners, and management.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced nearly $279 million in awards to properties across 23 states and territories under its Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) to support significant energy efficiency and climate resilience renovations of more than 3,500 homes.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Biden-Harris Administration are eliminating barriers to solar at multifamily housing and in HUD-supported public housing communities that serve low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

FHA and the Federal Financing Bank will implement a floor and a cap, called an interest rate “collar,” on the benchmark Treasury rate used to calculate the all-in rate provided to Housing Finance Agencies. This update to the Section 542(c) Housing Finance Agency Risk-Sharing Initiative will make it easier to use the program, thereby increasing the number of new, affordable multifamily properties that can be developed using risk-sharing program financing.
