WASHINGTON A federal agency that insures mortgages for millions of low- and middle-income borrowers is facing losses of $16. 3 billion and may require taxpayer support, according to an independent audit released Friday. The Federal Housing Administration's estimated losses were steeper than earlier projections. That shows high numbers of mortgage defaults triggered by the housing crisis have reduced the FHA's reserve funds. Wells Fargo sued for mortgage fraud Housing policy still key for Obama's next term Nearly half of younger homeowners are "underwater" The Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA, stressed the agency has sufficient cash to pay insurance claims against mortgage defaults. Still, HUD said the Obama administration will consider seeking taxpayer assistance for the agency. That will be decided early next year when the administration puts together its budget request for fiscal 2014.
