Book excerpt: The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures private lenders against losses on home mortgages made to borrowers that meet certain eligibility criteria. If the borrower defaults—that is, does not repay the mortgage as promised—and the home goes to foreclosure, FHA pays the lender the remaining principal amount owed. By insuring lenders against the possibility of borrower default, FHA is intended to expand access to mortgage credit to households who might not otherwise be able to obtain a mortgage at an affordable interest rate or at all, such as those with small down payments. When an FHA-insured mortgage goes to foreclosure, the lender files a claim with FHA for the remaining amount owed on the mortgage. Claims on FHA-insured home mortgages are paid out of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund (MMI Fund), which is funded through fees paid by borrowers (called premiums), rather than through appropriations. However, like all federal credit programs covered by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, FHA can draw on permanent and indefinite budget authority with the U.S. Treasury to cover unanticipated increases in the cost of the loans that it insures, if necessary, without additional congressional action. Each year, as part of the annual budget process, the expected costs of mortgages insured in past years are re-estimated to take into account updated performance and economic assumptions. If the anticipated costs of insured mortgages have increased, then FHA must transfer funds from a secondary reserve account into its primary reserve account to cover the amount of the increase in the anticipated cost of insured loans. If there are not enough funds in the secondary reserve account, then the MMI Fund is required to take funds from Treasury using its permanent and indefinite budget authority in order to make the required transfer. Separately from the budget re-estimates, FHA is required by law to obtain an independent actuarial review of the MMI Fund each year. This review provides a view of the MMI Fund's financial status by estimating the MMI Fund's economic value—that is, the amount of funds that the MMI Fund currently has on hand plus the net present value of all of the expected future cash flows on the mortgages that are currently insured under the MMI Fund. The actuarial review also determines whether the MMI Fund is in compliance with a statutory requirement to maintain a capital ratio of at least 2%. The capital ratio is the economic value of the MMI Fund divided by the total dollar amount of mortgages insured under the MMI Fund. In recent years, increased foreclosure rates, as well as economic factors such as falling house prices, have contributed to an increase in expected losses on FHA-insured loans. This increase in expected losses has put pressure on the MMI Fund and reduced the amount of resources that FHA has on hand to pay for additional, unexpected future losses. The capital ratio fell below 2% in FY2009, and has remained below 2% since then, turning negative in FY2012 and FY2013 but becoming positive again in FY2014. At the end of FY2013, FHA announced that it would need $1.7 billion from Treasury to cover an increase in anticipated costs of loan guarantees. This marked the first time that FHA has needed funds from Treasury to cover an increase in expected future losses in its single-family mortgage program. The FY2014 annual actuarial review of the MMI Fund released in November 2014 showed that, according to current estimates, the economic value of the MMI Fund is positive $4.8 billion and the capital ratio is currently 0.41%. This suggests that the MMI Fund would have about $4.8 billion remaining after realizing all of its expected future cash flows on currently insured mortgages, and it represents an increase of $6.1 billion from FY2013 when the economic value was estimated to be negative $1.3 billion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the third consecutive year, FHA reported that the Fund's capital ratio (the ratio of economic value to insurance-in-force) has not met the 2 percent statutory minimum (see below). FHA cites declines in the Fund's economic value due to higher-than-expected defaults, claims, and losses. At the same time, the other component of the ratio, FHA's insurance-in-force, has grown rapidly. The Fund's condition also worsened from a budgetary perspective, with balances in the Fund's capital reserve account reaching new lows. If the account were depleted, FHA would require more funds to help cover costs on insurance issued to date. FHA enhanced methods for assessing the Fund's financial condition but has not yet addressed GAO's 2010 recommendation for improving the reliability of its estimates. It relies on a single economic forecast, which does not fully account for variability in future house prices and interest rates. An approach that would simulate hundreds of economic paths for house prices and interest rates would improve the reliability of its capital ratio estimates. FHA has taken or plans a number of steps to better assess and manage risk. It created a risk office in 2010 and hired a consultant to recommend best practices. FHA plans to charter committees to evaluate risks at enterprise-wide and programmatic levels. It began a quality control initiative in the Office of Single Family Housing, in which program and field offices assess and report on risks. FHA also enhanced lender and appraiser reviews. While FHA's consultant recommended integrating risk assessments, the quality control and risk office activities currently remain separate efforts. Also, the Office of Single Family Housing has not annually updated assessments since 2009 as required. Without integrated and updated risk assessments that identify emerging risks, FHA lacks assurance it has identified all its risks. Further, human capital presents challenges. FHA has not created a systematic workforce plan to identify critical skills and skill gaps. Such a plan will be needed because high percentages of staff are eligible to retire soon. Without a workforce planning process that includes succession planning, FHA's ability to systematically identify workforce needs is limited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the actuarial soundness of the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund, focusing on the: (1) fund's economic net worth as of the end of fiscal years 1992 and 1993; and (2) econometric and cash flow modeling approach used to estimate the fund's net worth. GAO found that: (1) the fund's economic value has improved in recent years and the fund is accumulating sufficient capital reserves to be actuarially sound under the law; (2) at the end of fiscal year (FY) 1993, the fund had an estimated economic net worth of $4.9 billion and a capital ratio of 1.83 percent under the baseline GAO scenario; (3) at the end of fiscal year 1992, the fund's estimated net worth was $600 million and its capital ratio was 0.21 percent; (4) although legislative and other changes to the FHA single-family mortgage insurance program helped restore the fund's financial health, favorable economic conditions in 1993 were primarily responsible for the improvement; (5) the fund fell below the mandated capital ratio of 1.25 percent in FY 1992, but exceeded the ratio in FY 1993; (6) econometric and cash flow models of the FHA single-family mortgage program were used to estimate the economic net worth of FHA loans; (7) the econometric model estimated the historical relationships between the probability of loan foreclosures and prepayments and key explanatory factors such as the borrower's equity and interest rates; (8) the cash flow model measured five primary sources and uses of cash for loans originated in fiscal years 1975 through 1993; and (9) the fund's ability to maintain its financial health and to meet and maintain mandated reserve levels depends on many economic and program-related factors.
