Hi,

The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Program (HECM) is insured by HUD. This is the only reverse mortgage program that the HUD insures. The program has its own set of eligibility requirements which a borrower needs to fulfill. HECM also requires the borrower to meet a counselor before applying for the loan. No other reverse mortgage program has this sort of requirement.
