Case Number Prefixes - Business Background

The Case Number Prefixes page is used to request a list of all HUD-issued FHA case number prefixes (the first three digits of an FHA case number) and corresponding Homeownership Center (HOC) and Field Office area information. You can choose to display the Case Number Prefixes List alphabetically by State/Territory or Field Office Name or numerically by Case Number Prefix or Field Office Code.

Because HOCs operate in place of the former HUD field offices, it is sometimes difficult to determine which field office was originally responsible for processing an older case. Case Number Prefixes can be especially helpful to HOC staff in determining which field office is associated with an FHA case.

Case Number Prefixes can be accessed through the following sequence of FHA Connection links: Single Family FHA, Single Family Origination, FHA Approval Lists, and Case Number Prefixes.
