Significant changes are unfolding in 2024, marking a shift not witnessed in more than two decades. The transition from the outdated UPCS and HQS protocols to the modern NSPIRE protocol by HUD impacts all of us, necessitating a collective transition. With NSPIRE no longer a mere rumor, it becomes imperative for your management team and maintenance staff to align their efforts, ensuring optimal effectiveness during this pivotal transition.

In the transition from UPCS to NSPIRE, it turns out that every aspect is substantially different. Regardless of how confident you and your staff were in mastering UPCS, a reset is imperative. This training session will comprehensively cover the new NSPIRE protocol, ensuring understanding and proficiency.

This comprehensive training also includes the NSPIRE-V, the replacement for HQS inspections (with "V" denoting voucher). These inspection standards signify a significant change from the outdated HQS established in the 1970s. Upon completion, you will fully comprehend the pass/fail status for every conceivable defect.

Achieving a high score on a REAC inspection remains as crucial as ever. To accomplish this, we must continue to establish priorities, albeit with changes in the focus areas. This training will also address the optimal approach to scoring by incorporating HUD's adjusted scoring methodology and considering the new set of priorities.

Upon finishing this single-day training, participants are welcome to take the online certification exam (additional fees are applicable). This certification stands as the gold standard for affordable housing inspection certification.

All attendees will receive US Inspection Group’s exclusive NSPIRE Guidebook. An NSPIRE-V book for HCV/Section 8 is available for purchase.
