    Summary

    Reevaluate FHA’s existing model documentation for single-family, HECM, and multifamily models to determine whether their current state is acceptable, so that it provides the intended users a thorough understanding of how the model works and also allows new users to assume responsibility for the model’s use (operational procedures). Based on this review, FHA should make adjustments as needed to the model documentation. At a minimum, these adjustments should include appropriate actions taken to address model documentation deficiencies cited in our report.

    Summary

    Revisit the model’s ability to predict future performance of the single-family portfolio, based on our concerns expressed in this report regarding relationships of certain variables (such as loan-to-value ratio and FICO scores to prepayment) that are not consistent with our expectations. FHA should provide us an analysis to support its position if it believes that a model design change is not warranted.
