Approximately 31,500 FHA-Insured Loans Did Not Maintain the Required Flood Insurance Coverage in 2020

Develop a control to detect loans that did not maintain the required flood insurance to put $1.5 billion to better use by avoiding potential future costs to the FHA insurance fund from inadequately insured properties. Corrective Action Taken In November 2022, FHA published the Acceptance of Private Flood Insurance for FHA-Insured Mortgages final rule (Docket No. FR-6084-F-02) in the Federal Register and issued Mortgagee Letter 2022-18, Acceptance of Private Flood Insurance for FHA-Insured Mortgages (ML 2022-18).

HECM Corrective Action Verification Review

HUD OIG is reviewing HUD's corrective actions in response to four specific recommendations made in audit reports 2012-PH-0004, 2013-PH-0002, 2014-PH-0001, and 2015-PH-0004.  Our prior audits showed that HUD’s controls did not always ensure that HECM loan borrowers complied with program residency requirements.  The audits included a recommendation to prevent and mitigate instances of borrowers violating the principal residency requirements.   The objective of our audit is to determine whether HUD's actions to address the recommendations were adequate.
