This notice updates the announcement issued on January 21, 2026 (91 FR 2555) of HUD's intention to offer a number of home equity conversion mortgages (HECM, or reverse mortgage loans) secured by occupied properties with an estimated bid date on September 1, 2026. Because the sale was delayed, HUD is issuing this second, updated notice of HNVLS 2026-1. The sale will consist of due and payable Secretary-held reverse mortgage loans with a loan balance of approximately $465 million. The mortgage loans consist of first-liens secured by real property that is occupied, where the borrower and any borrowing or non-borrowing spouse are deceased, and heirs have not come forward in the time elapsed. This initiative supports HUD's continued efforts to reduce financial risk to the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund and promote the efficient disposition of defaulted assets. Additional information regarding sale structure, loan pool composition, and bidding procedures will be provided in subsequent announcements. This notice also generally describes the bidding process for the sale and an attestation required to qualify to bid in the sale. This is the second sale offering of its type and is scheduled for September 1, 2026.
