FHA is developing a new FHA Single Family Policy Handbook (SF Handbook). The handbook is a single, consolidated and authoritative source for FHA Single Family Housing Policy. The handbook will make it easier to do business with FHA. FHA will post sections of the handbook at its website and ask stakeholders, including lenders and appraisers to provide feedback on the handbook content.
