In honor of a short month, this will be a short Newsletter!
HUD created a checklist for the Voucher program, but it neglected to include the parameters that must be met in order for a deficiency to be cited!
Short of working with NSPIRE Standards daily, it is very difficult to remember the minimum measurements, percentages, and additional conditions that must exist to qualify as a deficiency under NSPIRE.
NSPIRE Standard: Cabinet and Storage:
Are the 3 missing cabinet doors a deficiency? NO!
The Deficiency Criteria and More Information states that you must have 50% or more of the individual component missing, inoperable or damaged to be cited:
So I combined all of that into an easy to use checklist that ALL programs using the NSPIRE Standards can use!

HUD has PDFs (videos are currently down) on how to appeal and how to close out H&S deficiencies here:

**Remember, if you will be appealing something,
your “defect mitigation in 24 hours” is that you are appealing…not that you fixed it!**
