HECM Life Expectancy Set Asides

HUD OIG is conducting an audit of HUD’s HECM Life Expectancy Set Asides within the Office of Housing. In 2015, HUD set a requirement for some HECM borrowers to maintain a Life Expectancy Set Aside to pay for future property taxes, insurance premiums, and flood insurance on behalf of the borrower. Our objective is to determine if HUD’s HECM Life Expectancy Set Aside calculations are meeting program goals.
