FHA has announced The "Back to Work" Program is available as of August 15th from the Federal Housing Administration, better known as FHA relaxed its guidelines for homebuyers who "experienced periods of financial difficulty due to extenuating circumstances" and would like to purchase a home again.The "Back to Work - Extenuating Circumstances Program", has removed the traditional waiting periods that typically followed a derogatory credit event such as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or if you had a short sale and had late mortgage and/or installment debt in the 12 months preceding the closing of the short sale. If you've experienced any of the following financial difficulties over the last few years, you may be eligible for a new FHA insured mortgage to become a homeowner once again:

• Pre-foreclosure sales
• Short sales
• Deed-in-lieu
• Foreclosure
• Chapter 7 bankruptcy
• Chapter 13 bankruptcy
• Loan modification
• Forbearance agreements

FHA has realized that, sometimes, credit events may be beyond your control, and that credit histories don't always reflect a person's true ability or willingness to pay on a mortgage.If you are a Homebuyer who has experienced an Economic Event (Short Sale, Bankruptcy, Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure or Foreclosure) in the past and can document that(1) certain credit impairments were the result of a Loss of Employment or a significant loss ofHousehold Income beyond the borrower’s control,(2) the homebuyer has demonstrated full Recovery from the event and,(3) the homebuyer has completed housing counseling.A Recovery is considered full, if “the borrower’s credit history is clear of late housing or installment debt payments, and major derogatory credit issues on revolving accounts; any open mortgage is current and shows twelve (12) months satisfactory payment history. Mortgages may have been brought current through loan modification, which may be “temporary” or “permanent” so long as all payments have been documented as being received in accordance with the modification agreement.”If the homebuyer meets the test for the Recovery, they must meet the another new test to see if the Loss of Employment or Loss of Income was severe enough to justify the Economic Event. The test put in place requires the documentation of a Borrower Household Income loss of twenty percent or more for a period of at least six months.These transactions will require additional documentation for underwriting and loan approval, so homebuyers need to be prepared to provide the extra documentation and should allow a longer time period to obtain loan approval.Lenders need to verify and document a reduction in the borrower’s Household Income of twenty (20) percent or more for a period of at least six (6) months that resulted from the Loss of Employment, Loss of Income, or a combination of both. This will be done using a combination of tax returns, W2’s, Verification of Employment forms, documentation of business closures, documentation of receipt of unemployment income or similarly reliable documentation.
