Secretary Held Loan Servicing

1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The National Servicing Center (NSC), a Headquarters' division of the Office of Single Family Housing

Asset Management (OSFAM) in the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is seeking to obtain professional loan servicing support services to perform a wide range of FHA insured and Secretary-held first, second and subordinate note and mortgage loan servicing functions. The servicing functions support the following loan programs: Partial Claim mortgages, 235 Recapture and

Nehemiah mortgages, Title II Assignment Program mortgages, Asset Control Area (ACA) Compliance and Enforcement mortgages, Purchase Money mortgages, Good Neighbor Next Door (GNND) mortgages, Hope for Homeowners (H4H), Emergency Home Loan Program (EHLP) and other mortgage programs as implemented.

Under this Contract, customer service is a high priority and critical to the successful performance of mortgage loan servicing functions. As such, the NSC is also seeking to obtain professional customer service support that not only provides mortgage servicing support for the Secretary-held first, second and subordinate notes and mortgages portfolios, but also customer service support that supports a wide variety of incoming inquiries from HUD's FHA Insured borrowers, FHA lenders/servicers, home ownership counseling organizations, the general public and other HUD divisions. The Customer Service Support operation primarily responds and resolves contacts related to FHA-Insured Loan Servicing, Loss

Mitigation, and other miscellaneous loan servicing issues.

1.2 Background

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is an agency within U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides homeownership opportunities for first time homebuyers as well as borrowers who, because of limited income or impaired credit history, are under-served by conventional mortgage markets. FHA insures approved lenders against the risk of loss on loans they finance for the purchase, and in some instances rehabilitation, of single-family homes. Although primarily a mortgage insurer, HUD has on occasion to become the holder of primary and subordinate mortgages as a result of its loss mitigation program and specialized loan programs. These loans and notes are currently serviced for HUD by a private sector Contractor. A specialized business service provider called Single Family

Mortgage Asset Recovery Technology (SMART) is utilized by the Contractor for all loans programs serviced under this contract. Additionally, HUD's BSP (SMART) interfaces with a number of HUD information management systems described throughout this statement of work.

There are approximately 9,000 calls per month received by the centralized customer service call support operations.

There are approximately 430,000+ partial claims currently being serviced with approximately 3,000 new partial claims added monthly.

1.3 Constraints

The services identified in this PWS will adhere to the rules, regulations, laws, standards, and conventions identified by HUD as well as within the Federal Government.

1.4 Description of Services

The objectives sought from this contract are:

o Professional, effective, and comprehensive loan servicing for a variety of mortgage loans, notes and security instruments while maintaining a high standard of customer service.
