Description
The Office of Healthcare Programs (OHP), previously known as the Office of Insured Health Care Facilities, is located within the Office of Housing and administers the FHA healthcare program, the Section 242 Mortgage Insurance for Hospitals. This program enables the affordable financing and refinancing of healthcare facility projects nationwide. FHA's healthcare programs are integral to HUDs community development mission. By reducing the cost of capital needed by hospitals to finance the construction, renovation, acquisition, or refinancing of facilities, this program improves access to quality healthcare and work to decrease overall healthcare costs.
