Abstract: This is a customer satisfaction survey of HUD's clients utilizing the national FHA contact center (FHA Resource Center). The primary focus of the survey is to assess customer satisfaction with their interactions with their interactions with the FHA Resource Center.

Emergency Justfication: Public clients rely on the accuracy and timeliness of Resource Center responses to make critical decisions related to home purchases, foreclosure prevention, and program eligibility. Business partner clients relay on the Resource Center’s accuracy and timeliness to make decisions on FHA underwriting criteria, borrower eligibility, property status, and other critical items in order to determine whether they are clear to make loan commitments on behalf of the agency. All of the Department’s quality assurance efforts are ultimately designed to protect the FHA Insurance Funds against financial harm. The survey is part of the Department’s effort to ensure that lending institutions are provided information necessary to make correct and sound decisions prior to the commitment of FHA mortgage insurance.
