U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Residential Care Facilities

OMB Approval No. 2502-0605 (exp. 11/30/2022)

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 63 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. The information is being collected to obtain the supportive documentation that must be submitted to HUD for approval, and is necessary to ensure that viable projects are developed and maintained. The Department will use this information to determine if properties meet HUD requirements with respect to development, operation and/or asset management, as well as ensuring the continued marketability of the properties. Response to this request for information is required in order to receive the benefits to be derived from the National Housing Act Section 232 Healthcare Facility Insurance Program. This agency may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. While no assurance of confidentiality is pledged to respondents, HUD generally discloses this data only in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Warning: Anyone who knowingly submits a false claim or makes a false statement is subject to criminal and/or civil penalties, including confinement for up to 5 years, fines, and civil and administrative penalties. (18 U.S.C. §§ 287, 1001, 1010, 1012; 31 U.S.C. §3729, 3802).

Privacy Act Statement: The Department of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Housing Administration, is authorized to collect the information requested in this form by virtue of: The National Housing Act, 12 USC 1701 et seq. and the regulations at 24 CFR 5.212 and 24 CFR 200.6; and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, 42 USC 3543(a). The information requested is used to review applications within HUD. No information will be disclosed outside of HUD. The information requested is mandatory to receive the mortgage insurance benefits to be derived from the National Housing Act Section 232 Healthcare Facility Insurance Program. No applications will be reviewed or approved without the necessary information requested. No confidentiality is assured.

INSTRUCTIONS:

The narrative is a document critical to the Lean Underwriting process. Each section of the narrative and all questions need to be completed and answered. If the lender’s underwriter disagrees and modifies any third-party report conclusions, provide sufficient detail to justify. The narrative should identify the strengths and weaknesses of the transactions and demonstrate how the weaknesses are mitigated by the underwriting.

• Charts: The charts contained in this document have been created with versatility in mind; however, they will not be able to accommodate all situations. For this reason, you are allowed to alter the charts as the situation demands. Be sure to state how you have altered the charts along with your justification. Include all the information the form calls for. Charts that include blue text indicate names that should be modified by the lender as the situation dictates.

• Applicability: If a section is not applicable, state so in that section and provide a reason. Do not delete a section heading that is not applicable. The narrative will be checked to make certain all sections are provided. If a major section is not applicable, add “– Not Applicable” to the heading and provide the reason. For instance:

Parent of the Operator – Not Applicable

This section is not applicable because there is no operator.

The rest of the subsections under the inapplicable section can then be deleted. This instruction page may also be deleted.

• Format: In addition to submitting the PDF version of the Lender Narrative to HUD, please also submit an electronic Word version.

Instead of pasting large portions of text from third-party reports into the narrative, it is preferred that the lender simply reference the page number and the report. The focus of this document is for lender conclusions, analyses, and summaries.

Italicized text found between these characters <<EXAMPLE>> is instructional in nature, and may be deleted from the lender’s final version. Please use the gray shaded areas (e.g.,      ) for your response. Double click on a check box and then change the default value to mark selection (e.g., ).

The license is to be issued to {Name of Entity on License}.” Describe the licensing process. It is effective {date}, through {date}. The license covers {number of beds}.”>>      

<<Provide affirmative statement along the lines of: “There is no Certificate of Need (CON) requirement in {State} for {Type of Facility}.” – OR – “A Certificate of Need (CON), dated {XXX} was issued by the State of {State} authorizing XX beds…”>> For skilled nursing, where the state does not require a CON, discuss the required independent study conducted by the state or commissioned by the state of market need and feasibility. Include in the discussion the number of beds and the date through which it is current.      

<<(Applicable on projects with new construction or added units/beds.) If a new/updated CON is required by the local regulatory authorities, it is to be issued to the current license holder. Provide affirmative statement along the lines of: “There is no Certificate of Need (CON) requirement in {State} for {Type of Facility}.” – OR – “A Certificate of Need (CON), dated {XXX} was issued by the State of {State} authorizing the addition of XX beds…”>>

Discuss documentation provided in the application that shows that the state where the facility is located is in compliance with Section 1616(e) of the Social Security Act (Keys Amendment) AND that the facility itself is regulated by the state pursuant to Section 1616e.  Note on this last point that the requirement is not only that the facility be regulated, but that it be regulated specifically pursuant to 1616e.      >>

Identities-of-Interest

Key Questions

	Yes		No
Have you, as the lender, identified any identities of interest on your certification?
Does the borrower’s certification indicate any identities of interest?
Do any of the certifications provided by principals of the borrower identify any identities of interest?
Does the operator’s certification (if applicable) indicate any identities of interest? N/A
Does the Management Agent’s Certification (if applicable) indicate any identities of interest? N/A
Does the lender know, or have any reason to believe, that any of the assertions in the other Consolidated Certifications submitted herewith, are inaccurate or incomplete?

<<For each “yes” answer above, provide a narrative discussion regarding the topic. As applicable, describe the risk and how it will be mitigated. For example: The borrower and operator are related parties – John Doe has ownership in both entities. No other identities of interest are disclosed.>>      

Risk Factors

Key Questions

	Yes		No
If the project is proposing new construction of assisted living units, is the proposed mortgage higher than the maximum loan-to-value (LTV)?
Is the debt service coverage of the loan less than 1.45?
Is this a “special use facility”–one that serves a “niche” type of market (e.g., psychiatric facilities; drug, alcohol, or eating disorder recovery facilities; hospice facilities; or short-term rehabilitation facilities?
Is this an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF), Institution for Mental Diseases (IMD), or any other type of facility that caters to a significant population with mental illness (MI), developmental disabilities (DD) or individuals with intellectual disabilities (IID)?
Is the project in a state with an Olmstead Plan, pending Olmstead-related cases, an Olmstead-related settlement agreement or order, or is the project’s state active in initiatives to “right-size” nursing facilities or otherwise working to “rebalance” long-term supports and services toward home and community-based settings?
Does the project rely on Medicaid Waivers or State Plan Options for a significant portion of its resident population, MI/DD residents, or for residents in the assisted living portion of a combined SNF/ALF Facility, subjecting it to HCBS Settings requirements?
Is the operator, parent company, affiliates or subsidiaries the subject of an ongoing investigation or judicial or administrative action involving any Federal, State, municipal and/or other regulatory authority, which could have a detrimental impact on the operator’s financial condition or may jeopardize the operator’s license and or its provider agreements?

<<For each “yes” answer above, provide a narrative discussion on the topic describing the risk and how it will be mitigated.

Example: Debt Service Coverage Lower than 1.45: {If the debt service coverage of the loan is less than 1.45, the lender must provide sufficient justification/mitigation to support the additional risk associated with the loan. The HUD underwriter will be required to specifically approve this item and may ask for additional input and request a discussion with the lender and/or HUD headquarters.} >>      

If you answer “yes” to question 3, the narrative discussion should include an analysis of the following: 1. The long-term viability of funding sources for this client group; 2. The facility’s ability to maintain stabilized occupancy over the long term, and/or the ability to fill the beds occupied by residents with the special use diagnosis, should the funding source cease; this analysis should include a demonstration that a market exists for increasing reliance on a more “traditional” SNF resident; 3. The extent of the successful experience of the operator in dealing with the contemplated population; 4. How the principals of this facility address the higher risk associated with the targeted population (e.g. higher Professional Liability Insurance, etc.); 5. The facility’s capacity to continue servicing the debt in the event that market/provider payment changes dictate that alternative/modified uses of the subject portion of the facility be pursued; and 6. Risk Mitigation.

If you answer “yes” to question 5, the narrative discussion should include a discussion of any of the state’s efforts above that might have an impact on the subject facility and what efforts the owner and/or operator will take to respond to these impacts. Be sure to reference the state’s strategy for moving the following populations: the elderly from skilled nursing facilities, individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) from ICFs, the physically disabled, non-elderly from skilled nursing facilities or the mentally ill from psychiatric facilities or other facilities, as appropriate.

If you answer “yes to question 6, the narrative discussion should include a discussion of the facility’s compliance with the HCBS Settings requirements. The discussion might include the State’s progress in implementing the HCBS Settings Rule, references to the Statewide Transition Plan, CMS responses to or approval of the Plan, State Regulatory language, or State Medicaid Agency input. If it appears that the facility will not, or will not be able, to comply with the Rule, the Lender should provide a Sensitivity Analysis showing the project’s ability to operate without these residents.

Key Questions

	Yes		No
Will there be a ground lease?
Are any tax credits involved in this transaction?
Are any real estate tax abatement or exemptions included in the underwriting assumptions?
Are there any special escrows or reserves proposed for this transaction?
Does the underwriting include income from adult day care? (Note: Non-resident adult day care space may not be located on a separate site. The adult day care space will not be considered commercial space; however, the space may not exceed 20% of the gross floor area of the facility and the income may not exceed 20% of gross income. Provide a Certificate of Need or operating license, if applicable.)
Are there any other issues that require special or atypical underwriting considerations?
Does the submission date of the application (date the application enters the queue) exceed the 120-day timeframe from the effective date of the appraisal?

<<For each “yes” answer above, provide a narrative discussion regarding the topic. For example, Item 3, Real Estate Tax Abatement – The borrower will be receiving an abatement of real estate taxes for at least two years after opening the facility. The abatement is to be 70% of the taxes due. We have not assumed the abatement for valuation purposes. The underwriter has, however, excluded 70% of the underwritten taxes from the debt service calculation and from the initial operating deficit calculation.>>      

Hypothetical Conditions and Extraordinary Assumptions

Hypothetical Conditions

<<Identify any conditions that are contrary to what exists but are supposed for the purpose of analysis. For example, “The appraisal assumes that the proposed construction is complete, and the property has attained the operating levels concluded by the appraiser. There are no other hypothetical conditions.”>>      

Extraordinary Assumptions

<<Identify any assumptions specific to this assignment that if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. For example, “The appraisal assumes the subject project meets the state licensing requirements and that the facility is constructed as planned. There are no other extraordinary assumptions.>>      

Jurisdictional Exceptions

<<These are rare and should be discussed with HUD before invoking. >>      

Market Analysis

<<The Market Study may be an integral part of the appraisal and need not appear under separate cover. If under separate cover, the Market Study should have the same author as the appraisal, so the valuation is consistent with the market conclusions.>>

<<Provide narrative discussion and support for each other income category as appropriate

A few examples follow:

Additional Personal Care Fees

The project bases additional care fees on levels of care needed as determined by the initial assessment and subsequent assessments as needed. The appraiser concludes to a net amount of $X annually based on his analysis of comparable data <<insert comparable data as appropriate. Identify any modification from the appraiser’s concluded fees and provide justification.>>

Second Occupant Income

The appraiser has included a net annual projection of X second occupants at $X per month. Competitive facilities in the market place report second occupant charges ranging between $X and $X with a range of X to X second occupants. Based on the market, the underwriter concurs with the appraiser’s conclusion for a net annual income of $X. Identify any modification from the appraiser’s concluded fees and provide justification.

Expense Analysis –Comparables

(Double click inside the Excel Tables to add information)

<<Provide narrative discussion of comparable information. The appraiser should trend the expense comparables to the effective date of the appraisal. An explanation of the adjustments should be included here. Explain any other adjustments made to the comparables such as for normalization of reserves, management fee, taxes, etc., required to put the comparables on the same footing as the subject. For skilled nursing and other facilities, resident days are more appropriate than occupied units. For continuum of care facilities (e.g., skilled and assisted living), it may be appropriate to provide a separate schedule for each care type.>>      

Net Operating Income

<<Provide narrative discussion as necessary. Summarize and compare the NOI of the appraiser and the lender’s NOI that incorporates all potential changes to incomes and expenses. Typically, the lender would explain here that the appraiser’s “market” NOI was used for valuation and loan sizing based on value. The lender’s NOI, which may vary from the appraiser’s due to the Office of Residential Care Facilities (ORCF) requirements (e.g., specific reserve requirements, tax abatements that the appraiser was not allowed to recognize, or unusual management fees) will be used for loan sizing based on Debt Service Coverage.>>      

Capitalization Rate

<<The selection of the capitalization rate should be based primarily on recent sales rather than from investment models. Ideally, these rates would come from the Building Sales Comparables. However, these are often chosen by location before sale date. Recent cap rate data should be included every time, even if an additional set of cap rate comps or a survey needs to be introduced. In the table below, please add columns or duplicate the table as needed to accommodate additional comps.>>

Additional analysis can be provided at the lender’s option to support its conclusion, as appropriate.>>      

Sales Comparison Approach

<<If large adjustments are required in the sales comparison approach, extra attention and explanation are required to support the determination of the adjustments. Generally, those sales that require the smallest adjustment are the most desirable.>>

(Double click inside the Excel Table to add information)

Price per Unit/Bed

<<Provide narrative discussion. An equivalent analysis of the information provided above is required. For continuum of care facilities (e.g., skilled and assisted living), it may be appropriate to provide a separate analysis for each care type.

Additional analysis can be provided at the Lender’s option to support its conclusion, as appropriate.>>      

Subject Past Purchases

<<Provide analysis of subject’s purchase price for all sales that have occurred within the last 3 years. (The analysis should provide: date of purchase, purchase price, whether the purchase was an arms-length transaction, and the financing term. In addition, the analysis should also state whether the sale was a market price. If not, explain.)>>      

Cost Approach

Development Cost

<<Provide narrative discussion. This section is a place for the lender to summarize the cost conclusions of the appraisal. The costs in this section will be different than those in the Cost Review Section. This section will focus on market costs, as opposed to the Cost Reviewer Section that will be geared toward HUD-specific costs, such as Davis-Bacon wages.>>      

Depreciation

<<With new construction this will normally be not applicable, but if the appraiser concludes there is external obsolescence, or depreciation associated with a preexisting structure, it should be discussed here.>>      

Major Movable Equipment

<<Provide narrative discussion of assumptions and conclusion. Address discrepancies between appraiser and cost analyst. Additionally, address ownership of the major movable equipment (e.g., borrower or operator).>>      

Land Value

<<Provide narrative discussion of assumptions and conclusion. Include an analysis of the comparable data.>>      

Reconciliation

(Double click inside the Excel Table to add information)

<<Provide narrative discussion of how the value approaches were reconciled to reach the final conclusions. The statement may be simple. For example, “As demonstrated in the Appraisal Overview section above, the underwritten value conclusion is based on the income approach to value.” If the value conclusion is based on weighting multiple approaches provide an explanation of the rationale.>>      

Lender Modifications

<<State if the lender concurs, or not, with the appraiser’s value conclusion. When there is a disagreement, summarize the valuation modifications made by lender underwriter. Insert a pro forma to highlight the differences in conclusions as needed. View the appraisal as a tool to do your underwriting and loan sizing correctly. Lenders should not use a value they disagree with and are allowed to use a lower value/NOI for loan sizing purposes. If lenders feel they are prohibited from doing this, they should cite the FIRREA rule at issue in the narrative.>>

Risk Management Program

Program Guidance: See Risk Management Program grid on the Section 232 program website for additional guidance. Note that the below tier descriptions are general descriptions and HUD retains discretion to require additional risk management measures, as warranted, on a case by case basis.

Risk Management Tier General Descriptions:

Tier 1 Baseline: For most assisted living and low-risk skilled nursing projects with no more than one incident of actual harm/immediate jeopardy in the past three years. In these instances, the risk management program may be administered internally or by a third party provided the party administering the program is qualified.

Tier 2 Elevated Risk: Higher risk projects with two more incidents of actual harm/immediate jeopardy within the past three years. In these instances, the risk management program should be administered by a third party.

(Note both Tier and Internal/External)

Tier 1 Baseline	Internally Administered Risk Management Program
Tier 2 Elevated Risk	External 3rd Party Administered Risk Management Program

Describe the Risk Management Program and how it meets the following requirements

1. Real-time incident reporting and tracking that informs senior management:

     

2. Experience of Staff:

     

3. Training:

     

4. Continuous Improvement:

<<For each “yes” answer above, provide a narrative discussion on the topic describing the risk and how it will be mitigated.>>      

Lease Payment Analysis

The lease payments must be sufficient to (1) enable the borrower to meet debt service and impound requirements and (2) enable the operator to properly maintain the project and cover operating expenses. The minimum annual lease payment must be at least 1.05 times the sum of the annual principal, interest, mortgage insurance premium, reserve for replacement deposit, property insurance and property taxes.

The underwriter has prepared an analysis demonstrating the minimum annual lease payment.

a.	Annual principal and interest	$     
b.	Annual mortgage insurance premium	     
c.	Annual replacement reserves	     
d.	Annual property insurance	     
e.	Annual real estate taxes	     
f.	Total debt service and impounds	$     
h.	Minimum annual lease payment	$     

<<Compare the minimum annual lease payment to the current lease payment. If the lease payment needs to increase, add the following language: “The lease payment must be increased to $XX per year ($XX per month). The underwriter has included a special condition to the firm commitment requiring the lease payment be revised to meet or exceed this minimum.” If the lease payment does not need to increase, add the following language: “The current lease payment is sufficient. The recommended annual lease payment also provides the operator with an acceptable profit margin.”>>

Proposed AR Loan Costs

<<If the AR borrower is obtaining AR financing for the first time, provide a financial analysis that demonstrates that the AR borrower has sufficient financial capacity to pay all projected operating expenses, AR financing costs and loan payments, and all rent or debt service payments. The analysis must assume the maximum AR loan amount to stress test the AR financing based on the lesser of the operator’s 12-month trailing operating statements or the underwritten NOI. Calculate the impact on the borrower’s debt coverage after payment of the AR loan expenses and payments.>>

Assuming the $      maximum AR loan limit, an annual interest rate of      %, and that the entire amount is outstanding for the year, the maximum annual interest expense would be $     . In addition to the interest, the other associated fees are the       fees <<list types of fees>>, that total $      per year for the same assumed balance. An analysis of the operator’s 12 month trailing financial statement (Month 20XX – Month 20XX) is below:

12-Month Trailing Operating History
Operating revenue	$     
Less: Operating expenses	     
Net operating income (NOI)	$     
Annual P&I + MIP	$     
AR fee: Interest	     
AR fee: Other	     
Total annual mortgage & AR debt service	$     
DSCR including AR	     

The underwriting assumed an NOI of $     . The 12-month trailing NOI is $     . The annual debt service including the MIP amount is $      per year. Adding the AR fees equates to a total mortgage and AR debt service expense of $      per year. This equates to       prospective debt service coverage.

<<If multiple HUD-insured facilities have access to the AR loan, repeat the analysis above with the consolidated revenues and expenses for all those facilities.>>      

Recommendation

<<The lender recommends approval of the AR loan.>>      

Tax Credits

Program Guidance: If the proposed documents do not currently comply with the requirements, outline the differences, what changes are required, and how they are justified.  Note that proposed changes to OMB form documents must go through the ORCF document change protocol.  Also, documents previously negotiated Multifamily documents are not automatically approved for use in Section 232 transactions, and must receive specific ORCF approval for use.
