(800)877-8339. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHA Downpayment Simplification Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-326, approved December 4, 2002) amended the National Housing Act by adding a new Section 206A (12 U.S.C. 1712a). Under Section 206A, the following sections of the National Housing Act are affected: I. Section 207(c)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1713(c)(3)(A)); II. Section 213(b)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715e (b)(2)(A)); III. Section 220(d)(3)(B)(iii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715k (d)(3)(B)(iii)(I)); IV. Section 221(d)(4)(ii)(I) (12 U.S.C. 1715l(d)(4)(ii)(I)); V. Section 231(c)(2)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715v(c)(2)(A)); and VI. Section 234(e)(3)(A) (12 U.S.C. 1715y(e)(3)(A)). The dollar amounts in these sections are the base per unit statutory limits for FHA's multifamily mortgage programs collectively referred to as the “Dollar Amounts.” They are adjusted annually (commencing in 2004) on the effective date of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's adjustment of the $400 figure in the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA) (Pub. L. 103-325, approved September 23, 1994). The adjustment of the Dollar Amounts shall be calculated using the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) as applied by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for purposes of the above-described HOEPA adjustment. HUD has been notified of the percentage change in the CPI-U used for the HOEPA adjustment and the effective date of the HOEPA adjustment. The percentage change in the CPI-U is 2.3% and the effective date of the HOEPA adjustment is January 1, 2013. The Dollar Amounts have been adjusted correspondingly and have an effective date of January 1, 2013. The adjusted Dollar Amounts for Calendar Year 2013 are shown below: Basic Statutory Mortgage Limits for Calendar Year 2013 Multifamily Loan Program Section 207—Multifamily Housing Section 207 pursuant to Section 223(f)—Purchase or Refinance Housing Section 220—Housing in Urban Renewal Areas Bedrooms Non-Elevator Elevator 0 $48,646 56,134 1 53,887 62,869 2 64367 77,091 3 79,336 96,552 4+ 89,818 109,173 Section 213—Cooperatives Bedrooms Non-Elevator Elevator 0 $52,719 56,134 1 60,785 63,598 2 73,310 77,335 3 93,837 100,047 4+ 104,540 109,823 Section 234—Condominium Housing Bedrooms Non-Elevator Elevator 0 $53,795 56,611 1 62,026 64,897 2 74,805 78,914 3 95,753 102,089 4+ 106,673 112,062 Section 221(d)(4)—Moderate Income Housing Bedrooms Non-Elevator Elevator 0 $48,413 52,296 1 54,955 59,951 2 66,427 72,900 3 83,378 94,308 4+ 94,482 103,522 Section 231—Housing for the Elderly Bedrooms Non-Elevator Elevator 0 $46,029 52,296 1 51,456 59,951 2 61,446 72,900 3 73,947 94,308 4+ 86,937 103,522 Section 207—Manufactured Home Parks Per Space—$22,333 Dated: April 30, 2013.
