HOUSING

Portfolio analysis in support of a front-end risk assessment (FERA)
Federal Housing Administration

Under a subcontract with Ofori and Associates, Econometrica supported development of a front-end risk assessment (FERA) in conjunction with the sale of subsidized multifamily mortgage loans held by the the Asset Sales Office of the HUD Office of Housing in Fiscal Years 2005 and 2006. HUD developed the FERA process to review the program’s potential susceptibility to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. The FERA process focused on the program’s potential risks and existing management controls for reducing or mitigating those risks on a pre-implementation basis.

Econometrica’s work involved the analysis of the HUD multifamily loan portfolio and creation of a series of tables. Through a series of cross-tabulations, Econometrica developed tables that examined the loan characteristics of the held mortgages, the property characteristics underlying those loans, the characteristics of the loans with FHA mortgage insurance, and the variety of rental subsidies that were attached to the properties and loans.
