Short Statement: This collection addresses the initial process and criteria for selecting FHA-approved lenders and servicers and HUD-approved housing counseling agencies to participate in Phase One of the HAWK Pilot. The HAWK for New Homebuyers pilot will provide FHA insurance pricing incentives to first-time homebuyers who participate in housing counseling and education to evaluate housing affordability and mortgage alternatives, to better manage their finances, and to understand the rights and responsibilities of homeownership. The goals of the HAWK for New Homebuyers pilot (HAWK Pilot) are as follows: - To improve the loan performance of participants and reduce claims paid by FHA's Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMIF); - To expand the number of families who improve their budgeting skills and housing decisions through access to HUD-approved housing counseling agency services; and - To increase access to sustainable home mortgages for homebuyers underserved by the current market.
