How does HUD help homebuyers and homeowners?
HUD helps people by administering a variety of programs that develop and support affordable housing. Specifically, HUD plays a large role in homeownership by making loans more readily available for lower and moderate income families through its FHA mortgage insurance program and by making HUD Homes available. HUD/FHA does not make loans or grants to homeowners. All of the HUD/FHA insured mortgage loan programs are handled through HUD-Approved mortgage lenders. You may find the list of HUD-Approved Lenders at our website. You can search for lenders in your area. The mortgage lender takes the loan application and handles all the required paperwork for the loan.
