Background: The Office of Evaluation (OE), located in the Office of Risk Management and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Housing, is responsible for monitoring the performance of FHA’s single family and multifamily programs. It prepares periodic reports to the FHA Commissioner on FHA business activities and oversees the statutorily mandated annual actuarial review of FHA’s largest insurance fund. OE is also responsible for assessing the financial impact on FHA’s insurance funds of new or existing policies and programs and evaluating relationships between current economic and market conditions and FHA program goals and objectives. With the advent of credit reform, The Office of Evaluation has become responsible for developing, maintaining, and updating cash flow models used to estimate credit subsidy rates for FHAs budget and liability for loan guarantee for FHAs annual financial statement. These cash flow models use historical data for loans grouped into risk categories to calculate the net present value of cash flows over the life of a book of business. Cash flows are estimated for premiums, claims, and recoveries. A credit subsidy rate for each risk category is calculated by dividing the net present value of cash flows by projected endorsements. If the credit subsidy rate is positive, FHA needs appropriations of credit subsidy (as well as commitment authority) before it can endorse new loans. 1.
