   Dear Mr. Chairman:

        Subject: LAnalysis of Multifamily Assigned Mortgagej
                  (CED-80-43)

        During hearings on the Clifton Terrace Pr j.ectbefore
   your subcommittee on November 13, 1979, you asked the General
   Accounting Office to analyze the Department of Housing and
.2N-rban Development's (HUD's) inventory of multifamily mort-
   gages to identify other mortgages which could be in severe
   financial difficulty. In response to this request, and based
   on subsequent discussions with your office, we have obtained
   information on

        --the amount of money involveo in delinquencies on mort-
          gages held by HUD and how long the mortgages had been
          delinquent;

        --mortgages which are currently under workout arrange-
          ments designed to bring the mortgages current; and

        --mortgages which are currently in the foreclosure pro-
          cess, the'difficulties in bringing a mortgage to fore-
          closure, and the length of time involved in foreclosing.

        The information presented in this report was gathered
   from several different offices within HUD. Some of the data
   in the records and.reports we examined was inconsistent.
   We had difficulty reconciling the various HUD statistics and
   categories of the multifamily-assigned inventory. Although we
   were unable to reconcile completely the number of mortgages
   in each category, we are confident that the discrepancies
   represent a small percentage of the total inventory and thus
   should not significantly alter our overall findings and
   conclusions.

        HUD's management and servicing of assigned multifamily
   mortgages is a difficult and formidable task because, when
   assigned, the projects already have a history of financial
   and/or management problems. While we recognize these diffi-
   culties, our analysis of the current inventory indicates that
