With the recent Federal Housing Administration announcement to reduce mortgage insurance premiums for affordable housing, as well as housing that meets certain green and energy efficient standards, the Colorado Housing Finance Authority announced that it will reduce the mortgage insurance premium for multifamily loans using the CHFA 542(c) Risk Share 50/50 program to 12.5 basis points, from 25 basis points. This change will apply to FHA commitments issued after April 1, 2016 only.
