The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Handbook Project Stakeholder Engagement Information for the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) Submission


Overview of Engagement Activity:

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is in the process of evaluating and enhancing the Single Family Housing Office policy development process and delivery mechanism so that industry stakeholders can more effectively access and utilize FHA policy documentation, communications and resources. A critical component of this effort is obtaining feedback from key stakeholders. To accomplish this, FHA will conduct an assessment of other federal agencies and industry leading business partners to evaluate best practices with respect to developing, implementing and accessing policy documentation and communication resources. Additionally, FHA is working internally to streamline and improve the current policy development and clearance process, enhance the policy communications process, refine FHA’s guidance into an easy-to-use and comprehensive guide, and launch an improved online electronic policy platform.


To accomplish these efforts and significantly improve our policy development process and delivery mechanism, FHA would like to engage with stakeholders to:

  • Understand how they currently access, interpret and apply FHA policy

  • Understand the emerging industry standards

  • Obtain feedback for improvements to existing policy and communication approach

FHA would like to engage stakeholders by holding voluntary group or one-on-one discussions, which would require individuals to participate in one discussion session that will last no more than two hours. The data collection is focused on the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of customers, (e.g. mortgage lenders, mortgage servicers or Direct Endorsement Underwriters) or other stakeholders in order to improve existing or future services, products, or communication materials. Statistical rigor is not necessary and public dissemination of the findings is not intended.

  • Welcome and Introductions

    • Introduce iWorks Team members and explain roles

    • Conduct round robin to introduce participants
