Multi-language translations of single-family mortgage documents designed to assist those with limited English proficiency.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is taking steps to remove an important barrier to homeownership for those who have limited English proficiency by announcing the availability of multilingual educational materials on its new Language Access Resources web page. More than 40 single family homeownership documents and other educational resources are now available in Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. These represent the first set of single-family homeownership document translations made available by FHA, to assist those for whom English may not be their primary language. The newly translated materials will facilitate lenders, servicers, housing counselors, and other FHA program participants working with those with limited English proficiency in explaining FHA single family mortgage programs, before prospective borrowers and existing homeowners execute legal mortgage documents in English, as required by law.
