HUD Releases Five New Language Translations for FHA-Insured Mortgage Documents
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is making homeownership more accessible to everyone with the release of five new language translations for FHA-insured mortgage documents. These translations in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese aim to break down language barriers and ensure that individuals with limited English proficiency can fully understand the information related to FHA-insured mortgages.
This initiative is part of HUD’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity in homeownership. By providing these translated resources, HUD is empowering lenders, servicers, housing counselors, and other FHA program participants to better assist individuals in navigating the mortgage process.
HUD acting secretary Adrianne Todman emphasized the importance of making homeownership accessible to all, especially first-time homebuyers. By offering translated resources, HUD is taking a crucial step towards a more inclusive and equitable generation of homeowners.
FHA Commissioner Julia Gordon highlighted the value of these newly translated resources in helping borrowers understand their options for purchasing a home and accessing assistance if needed. With almost 60 mortgage documents now available in multiple languages, FHA program partners have a comprehensive collection of tools to effectively reach non-English speakers.
