SECTION 03 / HUD REGIONAL CONTEXT REGIONS V (CHICAGO) & VII (KANSAS CITY)

Two HUD regions / seven states.

FHA structural inspections are submitted to HUD Homeownership Centers (HOCs) and processed under regional jurisdiction. Our seven active states fall under two HUD regions — useful context when underwriters reference regional bulletins.

HUD Region VII

Kansas City HOC

Covers Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa (pending), and Nebraska. The Kansas City Homeownership Center handles the bulk of our 2025 file volume — ~80% of FHA structural reports issued.

  • HOC Director's bulletins distributed to MO, AR, KS LOs
  • Same regional underwriter pool reviews all three states
  • Consistent guidance interpretation across our active jurisdictions
~80% of 2025 filesPrimary
HUD Region V

Chicago HOC

Covers Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota. The Chicago HOC handles our Illinois file volume — ~13% of 2025 reports. Distinct bulletin stream and underwriting pool from Region VII.

  • Illinois LOs may see different conditional-clearance preferences
  • Same HUD 4000.1 II.D.4 standards apply
  • Metro East StL files often cross regions on the same loan

SECTION 04 / OUT-OF-REGION REFERRALS WHEN THE FILE FALLS OUTSIDE OUR LICENSED JURISDICTIONS

Outside our
jurisdictions.

If your file is in a state where we're not licensed, we won't take it on. We maintain a vetted referral list of PE structural engineers in adjacent states who handle FHA MFG-home inspections to the same standard. Ask and we'll point you to the right firm.

Referral states · vetted

We maintain working relationships with PE structural engineers handling FHA MFG-home work in: Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Referrals come with a name, direct contact, and known turnaround — not a generic NCEES search. No referral fee changes hands.
