HUD NSPIRE August Newsletter: NSPIRE Training and Updated Resources

In this August 2023 issue of our HUD-REAC-NSPIRE Monthly Newsletter, I will be going over NSPIRE training and some new resources announcements!

New NSPIRE Resources

On August 11th, HUD updated some of the Standards but there were no earth-shattering changes…mostly fixing grammatical issues and updating instructions to inspectors.  However, I decided to create a tool where you can see every deficiency under each NSPIRE Standard and its respective Health and Safety classification.  Instead of just copying the deficiency exactly, I included the parameters that must be met before it can be cited.

Here is a preview of what they look like:

You can download the 3 PDF’s (Outside, Inside and Unit deficiencies) here:

Additionally, July’s Part 2 Newsletter walks you through how to make a NSPIRE Scoring “Cheat-sheet” – you can access it here (scroll to the bottom 2-step process):

Webinar FULL NSPIRE Training

I am happy to announce the first comprehensive NSPIRE Webinar training series called:

HUD-NSPIRE Demystified: A Deep Dive into the New Inspection Process

It consists of (8) 1.5-hour webinars beginning on September 29th from 10 am – 11:30 am Pacific Time.

You can take the full series or pick and choose the topics you want to learn more about.

Topics include:

  1. Web 1 – Complete NSPIRE Overview and Scoring Explained.
  • A comprehensive breakdown of the NSPIRE inspection process and the new scoring system fully explained.
  1. Web 2 – Differences between UPCS and NSPIRE, Final Rules and Non-scoring Deficiencies.
  • You will learn key differences between REAC-UPCS and REAC-NSPIRE, all of the most important information from the NSPIRE Final Rules and which deficiencies are Non-Scoring…at least the first year.
  1. Web 3 – Fire Safety Deficiencies
  • NSPIRE has many new deficiencies that were not cited under the UPCS protocol.  This webinar will go over all of the new fire safety deficiencies as well as fire safety deficiencies you may be familiar with…but have new parameters that must be met in order to be cited.
  1. Web 4 – Electric and Lighting Deficiencies
  • This webinar will go over all of NSPIRE’s new electric and lighting deficiencies complete with pictures, detailed explanations and the parameters that must be met in order to be cited.
  1. Web 5 – Outside Deficiencies

  • This webinar will go over all of NSPIRE’s mechanical deficiencies under the Leak, Water Heater, Elevator, HVAC and Drain Standards complete with detailed explanations and pictures.
  1. Web 7 – Inside and Unit Deficiencies – Part 1
  • This webinar is Part 1 of 2 of NSPIRE’s Inside and Unit deficiencies. If you lose more than 30 points in the Unit inspectable area, you fail the NSPIRE inspection. While we have gone over many Unit and Inside deficiencies in the first 6 Webinars, this one and the next go over deficiencies we have not yet discussed such as Bathroom, Kitchen, Ceiling and Floor Standards.
  1. Web 8 – Inside and Unit Deficiencies – Part 2 and How to Successfully Prepare for Your NSPIRE Inspection
  • This webinar contains Part 2 of NSPIRE’s Inside and Unit deficiencies focusing on hazards such as Infestation, Mold, Lead Based Paint, Sharp Edges, Tripping and Structural System as well as how to successfully prepare for your next NSPIRE inspection!

If you cannot commit to 8 weeks of webinars, we have a 2-day training including all of the information listed above on:

October 18 – 19 from 9 am to 4:30 pm Pacific Time!

Registration will be open by the end of next week – you can register here:
