Uses and Use Restrictions
HUD insures lenders against loss on mortgage loans.
These loans may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of a borrower that is a victim of a Presidentially-declared disaster.
The maximum insurable loan for such an occupant mortgagor is the same as prescribed for Section 203(b) (14.117).
Disaster victims are not required to meet the 3.5 percent minimum investment requirements.
In order to qualify for assistance, the formerly occupied home must have been in an area designated by the President as a disaster area, and it must have been destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary.
