FHA Adjustable Rate Mortgage An ARM is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage. Unlike fixed rate mortgages that have an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, the interest rate on an ARM will change periodically.
The initial interest rate of an ARM is lower than that of a fixed rate mortgage, consequently, an ARM may be a good option to consider if you plan to own your home for only a few years; you expect an increase in future earnings; or, the prevailing interest rate for a fixed rate mortgage is too high. An ARM has four components: (1) an index, (2) a margin, (3) an interest rate cap structure, and (4) an initial interest rate period.
When the initial interest rate period has expired, the new interest rate is calculated by adding a margin to the index. Your lender will disclose the margin at time of loan application (margins may vary from lender to lender, so it's a good idea to shop around for a low margin). As the index figure moves up or down, your interest rate will be adjusted accordingly.
Acceptable index options on FHA insured ARM loan transactions are 1) the Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) index (weekly average yield of U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of one year); or 2) the 1-year London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Increases or decreases in the interest rate will be limited by the interest rate cap structure of your loan.
The interest rate cap structure provides some protection from large interest rate swings. There are two types of caps: (1) annual, and (2) life-of-the-loan. The annual cap restricts the amount your interest rate can change, up or down, in any given year, while the life-of-the-loan cap limits the maximum (and minimum) interest rate you can pay for as long as you have the mortgage.
FHA offers a standard 1-year ARM and four "hybrid" ARM products. Hybrid ARMs offer an initial interest rate that is constant for the first 3-, 5-, 7-, or 10 years. After the initial period, the interest rate will adjust annually.
Below are the different interest rate cap structures for the various ARM products: * 1- and 3-year ARMs may increase by one percentage point annually after the initial fixed interest rate period, and five percentage points over the life of the Mortgage.
* 5-year ARMs may either allow for increases of one percentage point annually, and five percentage points over the life of the Mortgage; or increases of two percentage points annually, and six points over the life of the Mortgage. * 7- and 10-year ARMs may only increase by two percentage points annually after the initial fixed interest rate period, and six percentage points over the life of the Mortgage.
For more information on ARMs please contact the FHA Resource Center. Find an FHA mortgage lender online.

Past winners and funding trends for this program
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is the largest federal program dedicated to ending homelessness in the United States, distributing approximately $3 billion annually to local communities. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the CoC Program funds a wide range of housing and supportive service interventions for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, including those fleeing domestic violence. The CoC Program supports several project types: permanent supportive housing (PSH), which combines long-term housing with wraparound supportive services for chronically homeless individuals; rapid re-housing (RRH), which provides short-term rental assistance to quickly move people out of homelessness; transitional housing (TH) for populations that benefit from structured, time-limited residential programs; supportive services only (SSO) projects that connect people with housing search, case management, and employment services; and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), the data infrastructure that tracks homelessness across communities. A Continuum of Care is a local or regional planning body that coordinates housing and service funding for homeless families and individuals. There are approximately 400 CoCs across the country, each responsible for developing a coordinated community plan to address homelessness. Each CoC designates a single Collaborative Applicant — typically a local government, planning commission, or nonprofit — to submit the consolidated application to HUD on behalf of all project applicants within the CoC geography. The annual CoC Program Competition is one of the most significant federal grant competitions. HUD scores applications based on system performance measures including the rate of exits to permanent housing, returns to homelessness, length of time homeless, and the community's progress toward reducing overall homelessness. Communities must demonstrate coordinated entry systems, strategic use of Housing First approaches, and efforts to reduce unsheltered homelessness. New project applications compete against renewal projects, and HUD uses a tiered funding structure that protects renewal funding while creating a competitive process for new and reallocated projects. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is typically published in late spring with applications due in late summer or early fall.
Comprehensive Housing Counseling and Housing Counseling Training NOFO (Minority Serving Institution Initiative) is a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that funds HUD-approved housing counseling agencies partnering with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other Minority Serving Institutions. The program supports counseling and advice for tenants and homeowners on property maintenance, financial management, and related topics, with emphasis on serving underrepresented communities. Funded agencies also receive training funds to build capacity at minority-serving institutions. The application deadline is May 26, 2026.
