Abstract: the Agency will provide loan guarantees as credit enhancements to encourage private and public lenders to make new loans for affordable rental properties that meet program standards. Lenders will be expected to underwrite and service the loans. The Agency will approve qualified lenders to participate and will monitor lender performance to ensure program requirements are met. Qualified lenders will be authorized to originate, underwrite, and close loans for MFH projects. The Agency uses the information submitted by the lender to the Agency to manage, plan, evaluate, and account for Government resources. The information collected is necessary to ensure the proper and judicious use of public funds.
