Lou--there are 3 types of these available. This is some of the info on the most popular of the 3.
Available since 1989, the oldest and most popular reverse mortgage is the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) which is offered through banks, mortgage companies, and other financial institutions. The federal government insures HECMs through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HECM program guarantees that, as long as they remain in their homes, homeowners will receive the loan advances initially promised them, even if their homes decline in value or the financial institutions that make the loans go out of business.

HECMs "require reverse mortgage counseling" through HUD-approved agencies; the mortgage counselors at these agencies can also help homeowners decide which type of reverse mortgage is best for their circumstances.
