West Region WMAC LIHTC + FHA Mortgage Insurance for Affordable Housing a public/private partnership
Good afternoon, my name is Erica Kodiyan, I am an Uw BC and LIHTC lead in the west region. Thank you for sharing this time with me to discuss the success of FHA Mortgage Insurance and LIHTC.
This private/public partnership is growing and developing.
This is important because it is currently the primary platform for financing affordable housing.
We are proud to focus our efforts on enabling FHA to support affordable housing.
We were not sure that our changes and initiatives would capture interest in FHA programs through LIHTC…. But they have!
Let’s look at some higher level numbers supporting this interest.

LIHTC – FHA Interest in LIHTC via FHA is growing
We have embraced this public/private partnership, with the help of:
The MBA, HUD HQ’s staff , our Production Director, BC’s , UW’s and technical staff.
Over the last 3 years our volume of LIHTC business has increased over 25 % from $3.1 B to $4.3 B…...
and if our office is any gage, the volume is going to continue to increase 2019.
We have been making changes at HUD: new partner systems, new UW model, new MAP guide revisions.
Have you noticed?

We have been changing…..
Pre-2012
Piloted 223f LIHTC program
FHA’s market share was small
From 2000 to 2011, only 60 LIHTC endorsements per year
Post-2012
2012 to 2016, over 150 LIHTC endorsements per year
Continued piloting of the 223f LIHTC program
Streamline the review process of LIHTC refinance deals (with or without Section 8) via Single Underwriter Model
Allow for moderate rehabilitation of LIHTC deals (up to $40,000/unit)
Allow the refinance of LIHTC projects with less than 3 years of operating history
2016
2016 to present, over 300 LIHTC endorsements per year
223(f) LIHTC processing incorporated into 2016 MAP Guide
Chapter 14 and Appendices
Post-2016
Two new pilots for 221d4 LIHTC programs, are forthcoming, Ch 14.20
Expedited processing
Standard processing
We have strived to make changes and initiatives that draw interest to FHA for affordable housing through the LIHTC platform….
and it is working!
The volume of dollars and number of LIHTC units we have insured has increased significantly since 2012…
we are proud of our work!

6. FHA Processing HUD’s Internal Partners

FHA Processing HUD’s Internal Partners
OGC
DBLS
EMAD
CPD AM
AFHMP
Closing reviews, legal compliance, etc.
Labor wage determinations
Market analysis
Environmental compliance via HERO, permanent relocation reviews
Section 8 contract renewals, rent increases, preservation exhibits, R4R compliance and review, etc
Review and compliance thru FHEO
Although we have implemented major changes to our MAP Guide and SUW model,
there are still areas of FHA processing that we can’t overlook…..and often these areas are not within our sphere of influence.
Our internal partners can have a big impact on our processing times, delaying firm commitments and closing dates!
No matter how fast we can process a deal, if these partners aren’t brought in early on, there can be significant delays in application processing, firm commitments and closing timelines.
Our LIHTC UW’s are your key to accessing these critical HUD partners.

Expanding our LIHTC team is a priority
So who are the LIHTC UW’s? I have listed our team here.
I hope you get a chance to meet them in person at this conference.
Our LIHTC UW’s are in high demand. Not everyone in our Denver and San Francisco office processes LIHTC deals yet.
We have several specialists who work on only new LIHTC (4 or 9%) and some who process both existing LIHTC, market rate and preservation deals.
We hope to expand our group of LIHTC UW’s to accommodate the increasing demand for FHA/LIHTC deals that we are experiencing.

HUD/MBA LIHTC Initiatives: Working together
GP’s Pledge of Ownership Interest/ EBLs
Waiver for Latent Defects on LIHTC Heavy 223f’s
New LIHTC Wheelbarrow 2.0
New LIHTC Pilots 221d4
Training
Equity Bridge Loan Repayment Terms/ Pay In Schedule
Revisions and Updates to Chapter 14 MAP Guide
Income Averaging
We continue to partner and collaborate with the MBA, completing important policy initiatives to allow you (lenders) to do more LIHTC and affordable deals.
We have already completed the LIHTC wheelbarrow ver 2.0, we enables a deferred development fee rider for surplus cash notes,
we open the door to pledge of GP interest for existing bridge loans, we waived the working capital requirements for tenant-in-place Sub Rehab.
But there is more to try and more to roll out. We are looking into income averaging, and generating more revisions to the LIHTC Ch 14 Map Guide and appendix!
But our next big steps we hope will be the 221d4 pilot programs!

Getting Ready: Section 221(d)(4)/220 LIHTC Pilot Programs
We are on the verge of something exciting and we think we are close to rolling out the 221d4 pilot programs.
There are two tracks in the proposed 221d4 pilot program. Expedited and standard.
In SF, we are currently trying a pilot to the pilot expedited program. It is going well, it feel new and clunckie setting a precedent.
But mainly it feels good getting experience processing in this new way.

10. D4 Pilot Processing Expectations
9/17/2018
D4 Pilot Processing Expectations
Goals: Faster processing
Streamline and maintain current MF policies, authority or requirements
Promote LIHTC affordable housing nationally, thru D4’s
Increase FHA LIHTC D4 construction activity
Codify lessons learned into next MAP Guide and HUD insurance programs.
How: Rely on lenders more
Reduce administrative requirements.
Maintain a conservative risk position.
When: Pilot will run for 3 years
Implementation: Two Tracks
Expedited Approval- 30 day.
Standard Pilot Approval processing – 60 day.
Let me share with you some of the expectations of the d4 pilot
Goal: Faster processing
How: Rely on the lender for more, earlier
When: pilot will run for 3 years, once it commences
We believe, that as the primary vehicle for the production of new affordable housing nationally, the (d)(4) LIHTC program should have a larger portion of the FHA insured market.
After extensive outreach, both internally and externally, and review of best practices, we have a streamlined d4 program which reduces administrative requirements, and engages lenders more directly in our processing, while maintains a conservative risk position.
4. Desired Outcomes: HUD will evaluate what needs to be improved with staff and lenders once the pilot starts. Lessons learned will be incorporated into the next
MAP Guide and permanent mortgage insurance programs, just like we did in the 223f pilot program.

14. 221d4 LIHTC Pilot More Upfront, Earlier
9/17/2018
221d4 LIHTC Pilot More Upfront, Earlier
Mitigated HERO’s with Environmental Assessments
Mitigated CNA e-tool submissions
Written scope of work
Approved rent increases
Mitigated secondary financing and instruments
Approved waiver(s)
URA review & relocation plan
Approved 2530 via APPS (not paper)
So what else makes the d4 pilots different?
To enable quicker processing for these D4 pilots, we need to get more upfront.
The d4 pilots will require items earlier and we will rely more on the lender.
HUD will require information much earlier, before accepting firm application into processing.
We think these pilots are exciting and we are hopeful we can roll out these 221d4 pilot programs soon!
In conclusion, the public/private partnership between LIHTC + FHA mortgage insurance is growing and we think it can grow stronger. We are proud to focus our efforts on the FHA +LIHTC pilot programs to help finance affordable housing.
