With this Mortgagee Letter, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) amends Mortgagee Letter 2016-26, published December 30, 2016, by delaying the implementation date for the new Capital Needs Assessment tools (CNA e Tool). The updated CNA e Tool is being released concurrent with this Mortgagee Letter. To ensure adequate time for users to familiarize themselves with the tools, the required use of the CNA e Tool for all CNAs submitted under covered programs is delayed from July 1, 2017, as stated in Mortgagee Letter 2016-26, to October 1, 2017. Use of the CNA e Tool will be voluntary for all CNAs submitted through September 30, 2017. All CNAs submitted to HUD on or after October 1, 2017 must be submitted through the CNA e Tool to fulfill program requirements. All other provisions of Mortgagee Letter 2016-26 remain in effect, including programs covered. Questions regarding this Mortgagee Letter may be directed to David Wilderman at (202) 402-2803.
