Preferred term

hud minimum property standards  

Definition

  • The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Minimum Property Standards (MPS) are minimum requirements for the construction of single-family, multifamily, and health care–type facilities administered through HUD for its housing programs. The MPS were developed to ensure that houses and housing projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) are safe, secure, durable, and structurally sound, since they are the collateral for these loan guarantees.
