Subject:

Multifamily Housing Workload Priorities

In recognition of the heavy workload facing you over the next 6

months, we would like to provide you with some guidance on the workload

priorities in the area of multifamily housing. We have many things to

accomplish and we want to make certain that we are dedicating our
resources

to those matters that are the most important. Similarly, we do not want

staff time dedicated to low priority tasks at the expense of more
important

goals.

The following discussion of priorities is for guidance only. It is

meant to provide you with an understanding of what Housing considers to
be

most important over the next 6 months with respect to multifamily
housing.

These priorities are in addition to any actions required by law or

regulation or any actions necessary to protect the Department\'s
interests

and the interest of the residents of properties assisted or insured by
the

Department.

In general, high priorities include any actions that advance the

goals of the Secretary and the Six Priorities of HUD. In the area of

multifamily housing, clear high priorities are actions that provide

assistance to low and moderate income families and individuals. These

actions include in random order:

a\. completion of all funding actions for the allocation of subsidy;

b\. unclogging the Section 202 pipeline;

c\. servicing of troubled HUD assisted properties with an emphasis on

assuring that tenants are living in decent, safe and sanitary

environment;

d\. processing of full insurance projects that provide rental

housing, in whole or in part, to low and moderate income families

and individuals (e.g., projects involving low income housing tax

credits);

e\. processing of foreclosure cases;

f\. disposition of HUD owned property, and

g\. performance of post commitment reviews of coinsured projects that

are scheduled for endorsement.

Lower priority activities are those that do not clearly meet one of

the Six HUD Priorities, do not provide assistance to low and moderate

income families and individuals or are not otherwise identified as high

priority as indicated above.

An example of a low priority would be the processing of a multifamily

rental project that does not provide housing that is affordable to low
and

moderate income families and individuals. Generally, the project would
be

considered a low priority if:

a\. the design of the housing exceeds that of modestly designed

housing in the area such as housing that may be used as

comparables in developing the New Construction/Substantial

Rehabilitation Fair Market Rents, and/or

b\. the housing is not affordable by families and individuals whose

incomes are at or less than 100 percent of the area median

income, adjusted for family size, and/or

c\. the Commissioner\'s authority to exceed the approved high cost

factor for the area is required.

In determining affordability, you should assume that tenants would be

willing to pay no more than 30 percent of their gross income for rent.

Sponsors and mortgagors should be advised prior to application

submission regarding possible time frames for processing.
