Although FmHA's attempts over the past 5-1/2 years to centralize servicing operations for direct housing loans have not been fruitful, the benefits of centralization outweigh any disadvantages and GAO supports moving ahead with this effort. Centralizing loan servicing activities is consistent with the Agriculture Department's goal of reinventing itself. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-121/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-121.htm GAO/T-RCED-94-121 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-121 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-94-121; U.S. Department of Agriculture: Centralized Servicing for FmHA Single-Family Housing Loans; Housing programs Centralization Homeowners loans Loan accounting systems Loan repayments Public administration Federal agency reorganization Competition Government collections Delinquent loans FmHA Strategic Business Plan National Performance Review
