Mortgage and Real Estate Industry Professionals

Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust (MDEAT) is currently updating the MDEAT HAP Certification Guidelines and loan file submittal procedures and will issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for HAP participation based on new program changes. The RFQ will serve as a pre-screening mechanism for HAP certification and file submissions. MDEAT will post an announcement of RFQ informational sessions with additional details regarding industry certifications via a "Save the Date" and other public notices. As such, no new MLO or closing agent participation nor inactive/outdated MLO or closing agent participation will occur until the new RFQ process is completed.
