HUD ML 2010-05 Announcement of the FHA Nonprofit Data Management System
February 2nd, 2010
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has released Mortgagee Letter (ML) 2010-05 titled, "Announcement of the FHA Nonprofit Data Management System"
Background and System Overview
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is pleased to announce the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) newly developed Nonprofit Data Management System (NPDMS). NPDMS is an automated web-based program management tool designed to improve the application, recertification, and reporting process for organizations that participate in the Office of Single Family Housing (OSFH) activities and to assist HUD staff with the daily administration of FHA’s Nonprofit Program activities.
FHA, through its four Homeownership Centers (HOCs), receives application and recertification packages as well as annual reports from organizations that participate in OSFH activities such as purchasing HUD/REO homes at a discount, providing secondary financing in conjunction with FHA-insured mortgages, and securing FHA loans as the Mortgagor. In the past, participating organizations had to submit the required documents in paper form to FHA. To ease the burden of drafting, photocopying and mailing paper applications and supporting documents to HUD, FHA has developed NPDMS. NPDMS will serve as a new means for industry clients to apply to the program and submit program data required by FHA.
The NPDMS will collect, store and provide web-based access to participants’ application and property activity data. The system will enhance FHA’s ability to manage an organization’s program activities from initial application/re-certification through the entire life cycle of program activities. Additionally, NPDMS will enable nonprofit users to submit required property reports on-line.
Effective Date
Effective immediately after the date of this publication, organizations participating in OSFH programs will be required to use NPDMS to initiate and manage their FHA activities. Participants will be required to submit and re-certify applications on-line using NPDMS. Additionally, participants will be required to use NPDMS to submit individual property reports.
