About the Event
HUD, FHA, and Ginnie Mae play a central role in the multifamily housing finance system, supporting long-term, fixed-rate lending and providing liquidity to the market. However, the relationships between these entities—and how they interact throughout the lifecycle of a loan—can be difficult to navigate.
This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of HUD’s role in multifamily financing, including how FHA-insured loans are originated, underwritten, and closed, and how those loans are ultimately securitized through Ginnie Mae. Participants will explore the structure and benefits of FHA multifamily loan programs, key requirements within the HUD MAP Guide, and the roles of approved lenders and other stakeholders.
The session will also walk through the lifecycle of a HUD-insured loan—from initial underwriting and firm commitment through endorsement and securitization—highlighting how each stage supports risk management, affordability, and long-term housing stability. By the end of the webinar, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how these programs function together to support multifamily lending and the broader housing market.
