This requirement supports the asset sales function relative to program compliance with existing loan sale programs. The Office of Finance and Budget was established in Fiscal Year 2001 to sell FHA defaulted mortgage notes.

With the goal of maximizing recoveries to the FHA insurance funds, the OAS conducts competitive auctions, selling the defaulted mortgages primarily to private sector entities, nonprofits and units of local governments at pricing that represents the highest recoveries to the FHA mortgage insurance fund. Since 2010, the OAS has managed the disposition of over 100 multifamily and healthcare mortgage loans totaling approximately $1.039 billion in Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB) in nine loan sale initiatives and has grossed proceeds of more than $482 million and more than 11 whole loan single family sales totaling about $16.7 billion in UPB.
