Risk Sharing Program
In 1994, in an effort to increase the supply of affordable multifamily housing, provide a more adequate supply of mortgage credit in underserved housing markets and encourage major financial institutions to expand their participation in mortgage lending, HUD entered into Risk Sharing Agreements with Qualified Participating Entities (QPEs).

LHFA was approved as a Qualified Participating Entity (QPE) and entered into a Risk Sharing agreement with HUD to provide mortgage insurance for affordable multifamily housing in the State of Louisiana. Through this agreement, LHFA assumes a portion of the risk for each loan it underwrites and HUD, in turn, commits to pay 100% of the outstanding principal mortgage balance upon default of the loan and filing of a claim.

LHFA is responsible for the full range of loan management, servicing, and property disposition activities associated with these properties.

Assistance is available on an equal basis regardless of race, color, familial status, national origin, religion, sex or handicap.
