Description
HUD has developed an INSPIRE model to update the physical inspection process. These new regulations go into effect in October of 2023.
This model of the inspection was introduced by the HUD in response to concerns about the effectiveness of the REAC Inspections.
The goal of the NSPIRE is to modernize and improve the inspection process of HUD-assisted properties with a stronger emphasis on health, safety, and functional aspects.
It is designed to be more resident-focused. It promotes transparency and collaboration among property owners, managers, and residents
The new NSPIRE model will make it easier for owners and managers. They have combined the inspectable areas down from five to just three. It also focuses on self-inspections. The goal is to initiate a continuous maintenance plan at the property
