FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION – HUD’s Contingency Plan states the FHA will endorse new loans in the Single Family Mortgage Loan Program, but not new commitments in the Multi-family Program during the shutdown. FHA will pay claims & collect premiums. Expect some delay with FHA processing. VA LOAN GUARANTY PROGRAM – lenders will continue to process & guaranty mortgages through Loan Guaranty program in the event of a government shutdown. Again expect delays. MORE TO COME.
