Mortgage Insurance_Single Family Cooperative Housing
Ownership of the corporate certificate carries the right to occupy the unit located within the cooperative project.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's mission is to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. HUD fulfills this mission through high ethical standards, management and accountability, and by forming partnerships with community organizations.

Assistance Considerations
Formula and Matching Requirements
For most families, the maximum amount of the loan is the same as under 203(b) - program 14.117. The unit's share of the project mortgage is deducted from the maximum potential amount to determine the maximum Section 203(n) loan. As of July 1, 1991, risk-based mortgage insurance premiums will be collected including: 1) an up-front premium which may be financed and 2) a periodic premium which is paid monthly. The origination charge by the mortgagee varies, but may not exceed one percent of the total mortgage amount.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance
The maximum mortgage term is 30 years or the remaining term of the blanket mortgage covering the cooperative development, whichever is less.
Post Assistance Requirements
Reports
Defaults in meeting the mortgage terms must be reported.
Any approved mortgagee, at any time upon request by HUD, must furnish a copy of its latest financial statement.
Audits
The Department of Housing and Urban Development reserves the right to audit the account of the mortgagee to determine its compliance and conformance with HUD regulations and standards.
