BACKGROUND Apart from its involvement in single family and multifamily risk assessment and risk scoring, the Office of Evaluation (OE), located in the Office of Finance and Budget in the Office of Housing, is responsible for monitoring the performance of FHA?s single family and multifamily programs. It prepares periodic reports to the FHA Commissioner on FHA business activities and oversees the statutorily mandated annual actuarial review of FHA?s largest insurance fund. OE is also responsible for assessing the financial impact on FHA?s insurance funds of new or revised programs and policies and evaluating relationships between current economic and market conditions and FHA program goals and objectives. With the advent of credit reform, the OE has become responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating cash flow models used to estimate credit subsidy rates for FHA?s budget and liability for loan guarantee for FHA?s annual financial statement. These cash flow models use historical data for loans grouped into risk categories to calculate the net present value of cash flows over the life of a book of business. Cash flows are estimated for premiums, claims, and recoveries. A credit subsidy rate for each risk category is calculated by dividing the net present value of cash flows by projected endorsements. If the credit subsidy rate is positive, FHA needs appropriations of credit subsidy (as well as commitment authority) before it can endorse new loans. The procurement is an annual subscription of commercially available mortgage databases accessible on the Internet and all data are currently accessible in a current Alt-A & Nonprime database. The asset-backed securities database should provide loan-level mortgage data on 7,000 home equity and nonprime loan pools (6,000 active) that include 14.9 million loans (6.3 million active) with $1.193 trillion in outstanding balances. The securities databases provide a unique 15-year perspective on the non-Agency securities market. This extended view?one enabling long-term projections that account for historical market fluctuations?ensures a degree of accuracy simply not possible with briefer time horizons. This database assistance will allow 1) superior single family risk assessments and 2) more program and related data available to program managers to help improve program performance, hold down costs, and increase the effectiveness with which HUD can maintain and increase the supply of affordable housing.
