New Resident Engagement Initiative Added to NSPIRE Demonstration

HUD is in the process of overhauling its Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) physical inspection protocol. Last year, HUD drastically reduced the notice it would give managers of public and subsidized rental housing before REAC inspections to 14 calendar days. And HUD will eventually replace REAC inspections with a new physical inspection protocol known as the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE), which will feature new standards, protocols, and processes that will apply to HUD’s public housing, HUD-assisted, and FHA-insured multifamily sites.
