Prohibition of the Escrowing of Tax Credit Equity

Краткое содержание

This proposed rule would conform HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) multifamily mortgage insurance regulations to a provision in Title VIII of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 that prohibits a requirement that tax credit sales proceeds be placed into escrow, at the time of initial endorsement, for assurance of project completion and to pay the initial service charge, carrying charges, and legal and organizational expenses incident to the construction of the project. This rule would not prohibit HUD from requiring escrows of funds for other purposes, such as for working capital. The rule would also make other changes intended to reduce burdens on the use of tax credits.
