Applicant eligibility is validated by current enrollment in a federally recognized tribe. The homeowner is the ultimate beneficiary of the program. When the Indian Housing Authority, TDHE or Tribe is the homebuyer, they may then rent the property. In these cases, the person renting the home would be an indirect beneficiary.

The lender verifies the land status of the proposed property. The financial institution obtains and reviews all documentation and forwards it to HUD's Office of Native American Programs. HUD sends the Section 184 Loan Guarantee Firm Commitment Form to the Lender if the mortgage meets the Section 184 Program underwriting criteria. The financial institution is responsible for assuring Tribal eligibility, land status, property acceptability and the creditworthiness of the loan applicant. HUD has responsibility for the approval or disapproval of the loan (the application for loan guarantee). Eligible lenders may originate loans under the Direct Guarantee Program. Direct Guarantee lenders underwrite, approve and close the loan prior to submission to HUD for the Loan Guarantee Certificate. Not applicable. From 1 to 15 days.
