HUD Rule for FHA Mortgages Invalidated

An affordable housing organization launched litigation that ultimately invalidated a final rule promulgated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and barring seller-funded down payment assistance in connection with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Our firm represented the organization in overturning the rule. Nehemiah Corp. of America v. Jackson, 546 F. Supp. 2d 830 (E.D. Cal. 2008).
