Wednesday, September 18th Handouts will be available on site.HUD REAC Inspections have used an inspection protocol known called UPCS since 1999. As of October of 2023, all of the deficiencies of UPCS will be sunset and replaced with a new set of standards called "NSPIRE." Now it's time for owners, management agents, and site management and maintenance team members to familiarize themselves with the new set of rules. In this full-day workshop, we will break down the new rules, deficiencies, and expectations for everyone involved. NSPIRE is more than just a new checklist of inspection items, it's an attempt to align the inspection standards for all HUD programs, including CPD and Voucher programs. These new standards will also add new design requirements which may require property owners to invest in upgrades to their properties to meet NSPIRE's new standards. Additionally, REAC's new inspection procedures will include new online reporting systems, self-inspection requirements, and new consequences for failing scores. Join US Housing Consultants for this full-day comprehensive course to discuss the new rules, procedures, and standards for NSPIRE. In this session, he will discuss: • Background of NSPIRE • Explanation of the Changes and Concepts of NSPIRE • Online reporting system and requirements • NSPIRE Scoring Methodology • Impact of NSPIRE Changes on HOME, LIHTC, and other Programs • New NSPIRE Scoring Methodology 10:45- Noon • NSPIRE Standards - Life Safety, Bathroom, Kitchens, and Finishes • NSPIRE Standards - Windows/Doors, Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, Site/Grounds, Hazards |
