HUD Extends HECM Handbook Comment Period

HUD Extends HECM Handbook Comment Period

The Federal Housing Administration extended the deadline for submitting comments on the draft HECM Handbook through January 31, 2022. Details were announced in FHA Info #21-113. 

The draft HECM sections of Handbook 4000.1 were posted for public feedback to the Single Family Housing Drafting Table (Drafting Table) on September 29, 2021.

A working group overseen by HUD Issues Committee Co-Chair Elly Johnson has thoroughly reviewed the draft HECM Handbook and is in the process of finalizing NRMLA’s comments.

Members are invited to submit their own comments. Instructions for providing feedback are posted on the Drafting Table. FHA will carefully consider all feedback received.
