Description
The National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) establishes a new approach to defining and assessing housing quality not only for REAC Inspections of HUD-assisted properties but also for other programs such as the Housing Choice Voucher and Project Based Voucher programs and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program which refers to HUD’s federal guidance in establishing physical condition standards for LIHTC properties.
NSPIRE redefines and replaces the former UPCS and HQS guidance with the purpose of strengthening HUD’s physical condition standards and improving HUD oversight through the alignment and consolidation of the inspection regulations used to evaluate HUD housing across multiple programs.
NSPIRE Compliance is NCHM’s in-depth training program designed to educate the industry on the many aspects of NSPIRE. This course has been designed for all industry stakeholders. Whether you are a site manager, maintenance supervisor, regional property manager, property owner, or compliance monitor, this program will give you the understanding you need to ensure compliance with NSPIRE.
The course materials include each of the documents that make up the official NSPIRE regulations and will also include all of the NSPIRE Standards in one separate easy-to-navigate manual.
The goal of this course is to help you understand not only the physical condition standards but also the policies, procedures, scoring, and overall best practices that will help you successfully navigate NSPIRE in your daily work.
There is no certification test at the conclusion of the two-day, eight-hour training course, but if you successfully attend both days, you will earn an NSPIRE designation.
