Restructuring Hud's Assisted/Insured Multifamily Housing Portfolio


Book Description

Excerpt from Restructuring Hud's Assisted/Insured Multifamily Housing Portfolio: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Housing Opportunity and Community Development of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress; June 15, 1995 I am going to ta e a few moments to make an opening statement which I think will outline and express my feelings and concerns with respect to this issue, so if you will bear with me and then we will get to our first panel. Restructuring this portfolio is critical because the huge financial costs required to provide Section 8 assistance, and because Section 8 assistance contracts on about units are expiring between 1996 and the year 2002, because these properties are also insured bfi' fha, any changes to the rental subsidy could result in costs to t e fha Insurance Fund. Hud and ceo estimate that on a 25-year present-value basis the cost of maintaining current policy on renewals would be about $80 billion.

Management of HUD's Section 8 Multifamily Housing Portfolio


Book Description







Multifamily Housing


Book Description

This testimony discusses the Mark-to-Market Program, which provides for low-income rental housing while reducing the federal government's costs for rental subsidies. The program, which is administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Multifamily Housing Restructuring (OMHAR), provides the framework to restructure insured Section 8 properties in HUD's multifamily housing portfolio by lowering their rents to market levels when their current Section 8 contracts expire and reducing their mortgage debt if such action is necessary for the properties to continue to have a positive cash flow. Without restructuring, rents for many of the 8,500 properties in HUD's portfolio would substantially exceed market levels, resulting in higher federal subsidies under the Section 8 program. Legislative authorization for the Mark-to-Market program and OMHAR is scheduled to end on September 30, 2001. If authorization is not extended, HUD will still be required to renew Section 8 contract rents at market levels, but the tools established by the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act for restructuring mortgages will no longer be available. This testimony focuses on (1) the status of the Mark-to-Market program, (2) factors that have affected the pace of program implementation and the actions HUD has taken to address these factors, and (3) the advantages and disadvantages of extending the program past its statutory termination date and of transferring program responsibilities to HUD or keeping them with OMHAR.
