Summary
Starting now, healthcare facilities with FHA-insured loans won’t get special lower mortgage insurance rates for being green or energy-efficient. Instead, all these loans will follow the regular rate set before. This change affects anyone with Section 232 healthcare mortgages and means no extra savings for green upgrades.

Green MIP Eliminated for Section 232
Starting now, healthcare facilities with FHA-insured Section 232 mortgages will no longer get a special lower mortgage insurance premium (MIP) rate for being green or energy-efficient. All such projects will instead pay the regular MIP rate that was previously established (HUD first proposed related MIP reductions on May 19, 2022).
