Published by Office of Policy Development and Research, GIS Helpdesk and Open Data Division | Department of Housing and Urban Development | Catalog Last Checked: October 16, 2026 at 08:19 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 18, 2024 at 08:16 PM
This service denotes the service areas for HUD's Homeownership Centers (HOCs) which help insure single family Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages, and oversee the selling of HUD homes. Processing for much of the Single Family FHA mortgages is centralized into one of four Homeownership Centers (HOC) located in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, and Santa Ana; each supporting specific geographic region. Although most questions are handled by the FHA Resource Center (not the HOC) for immediate acknowledgement and tracking, certain case specific issues will subsequently be referred to the appropriate center.
