FHA projected to exhaust reserves, could need bailout - latimes.com: The Federal Housing Administration, which has played a crucial role in stabilizing the housing market, said it ended September with $16.3 billion in projected losses -- a possible prelude to a taxpayer bailout. The precarious financial situation could force the FHA, which has been self-funded through mortgage insurance premiums since it was created during the Great Depression, to tap the U.S. Treasury to stay afloat. The agency said a determination on whether it needs a bailout won't come until next year. . . . The FHA has permanent and indefinite authority to draw money from the Treasury, although it has never had to use that power."
Never had to use that power--until now.
