Description

This program is designed for the Public Housing Program that is now required to implement the new inspection program known as National Standards for the Physical Inspections of Real Estate (NSPIRE). This is not the HCV programs course.

HUD has begun a complete review and revamp of the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspection protocols for public housing and other assisted housing programs. This training will help attendees understand the new standards, the scoring system and the impact of the deficiencies identified during the inspection. Agencies are completely transitioning from UPCS to NSPIRE and need to start preparing for the implementation of NSPIRE.

During this training, participants will learn about the new NSPIRE protocol, including the new 63 standards, types of deficiencies, impact on the scoring, and administration. The training will include photos of actual deficiencies so individuals will understand the new criteria, the difference in life-threatening, severe, moderate and low. The 3 areas of the inspection will be covered- Outside, inside, and unit. Get you agency ready for implementing the new protocol.

We will take you deep into the standards, the impact of each deficiency, and provide methods to focus on and correct life-threatening and severe conditions to improve an agencies score for PHAS.
