This comprehensive NSPIRE certification course, presented by Brandon Bay from US Housing Consultants, isfor all funding programs and applications. And we will do it all in a single-day course. USHC offers you a thorough analysis of every NSPIRE standard and how to recognize deficiencies, conduct inspections, and understand the operational implications of the change from HQS and UPCS to NSPIRE.
Serious Changes Require Serious Curriculum
NSPIRE’s requirements for components will align with the International Building Code (IBC), International Code Council (ICC), and UFAS/ADA Accessibility Requirements, as well as fire and life safety standards. The ACE Certification course addresses the basis for NSPIRE standards while conveying what the complete requirements are rather than simply glossing over the bare minimum standards. Without a complete deep-dive, properties could make changes to that meet NSPIRE standards but end up creating fair housing violations. The NSPIRE ACE Certification seminar provides a full understanding of all standards that is both comprehensive and clear to all.
NSPIRE Means Housing Compliance
The new physical inspection requirements are more than just a checklist. They're a new way of thinking that everyone from executives to property managers, professional inspectors, and maintenance professionals need to understand. Those accustomed to conducting HQS and UPCS Inspections must understand the step-by-step requirements of what makes something a deficiency. They also need to know how to test the components properly. In short, everyone from the boardroom to the boiler room needs to understand all NSPIRE standards thoroughly.
What Does the NSPIRE ACE Certification Course Include?
This course explain NSPIRE policies and procedures (broken down by funding program), the score on the REAC scoring process, and an in-depth analysis of each NSPIRE standard. In this seven-hour course, we explain standards and deficiencies, show detailed examples, and describe the step-by-step requirements for each component required to be inspected under NSPIRE. After the course, attendees are invited to take an online exam to earn the ACE-NSPIRE Certification.

| Rural Development Fundamentals Webinar |
(2 hours)
Instructor: Scott Michael Dunn
Rural Development section 515 housing and rental assistance programs are an important part of rural infrastructure, but training can be hard to get where this housing is found. To help our members operating RD housing, Rocky AHMA is happy to provide a webinar designed to better equip managers of RD housing to provide housing and remain in compliance with program provisions. Household income, asset and deduction calculation rules will be briefly reviewed, but the main focus will be on other major RD housing compliance provisions. RD has some of the most complex wait list provisions of any housing programs. Is your property in compliance with these? Which student rules now apply to RD housing? How do tax credits on a property affect how business is done? These questions and more will be discussed in this webinar.

| Understanding HOME Webinar |
NOW WITH QUIZ
(2 hours 30 minutes)
Instructor: Gwen Volk
The HOME program is unique. While some of its rules sound a little like Section 8 rules and others sound a little like tax credit rules, HOME compliance works very differently from both of those programs. So whether you are dealing only with HOME or working on a project that combines HOME with tax credits or Section 8, understanding the HOME program is essential. This course covers HOME funding, Low HOME and High HOME Income limits and rents, "fixed" versus "floating" HOME units, leases, inspections, qualifying households, recertification requirements, handling over income tenants - adjusted income and rent calculations at recertification, , a review of income and assets, documenting and calculating income, , effects of combining LIHTC HOME on income limits, rents, compliance, noncompliance, and more. And each session of this comprehensive two-part webinar concludes with live polls and case studies to "test your knowledge".
