New guidance for cooperative housing loan insurance will be published to update existing policies, and better enable mortgagees to submit cooperative share loans for FHA insurance. This new publication will provide instructions to lenders to ensure compliance with project requirements, origination, servicing, and claims. The guidance includes matters concerning forward and reverse (HECM) mortgages, as well as compatible insurance programs. Mortgagees must collect documents and information about the cooperative corporation and housing project, which are needed to evaluate the share loans eligibility, and ensure compliance with security and project requirements. Additionally, the new instructions require a Cooperative Project Questionnaire, which will be used by lenders and FHA to document critical information relevant to the structure of the cooperative corporation and its eligibility for FHA insurance. Also required is a form Mortgagee Certification of Cooperative Eligibility, which is to be signed by the Mortgagee/Lender.
