The
Accelerated Claims Disposition (ACD) Demonstration is designed to
provide an alternative disposition strategy for delinquent Federal
Housing Administration (FHA) loans. Enacted as Section 601 of the
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1999, ACD gives the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the authority to experiment
with a more flexible method of paying claims for FHA-insured loans
and disposing of foreclosed, single-family properties. The legislation
permits the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to accelerate the
claim on delinquent mortgage notes and transfer them to a public/private
joint venture (JV) for disposition. FHA sells the notes to the JV
at a discounted price determined by competitive bid. The JV then
manages the restructuring of notes for securitization and sale or
the foreclosure and property sale of non-performing loans. FHA retains
an equity interest in the partnership undertaking asset disposition.
