R&C Comments on NSPIRE Notice
|
|
On October 21, R&C provided comments on HUD's NSPIRE Notice, which outlined the proposal to completely reevaluate and replace the 20 year old REAC inspection protocol. HUD states that NSPIRE will focus on tenant unit conditions and health and safety concerns, and provide a more objective and streamlined evaluative model; however, preliminary NSPIRE deficiency definitions appear to add complexity. Additionally, HUD has yet to release the NSPIRE scoring algorithm, making it difficult to comment on significant aspects of the proposal. R&C also commented on the scope of the demonstration and encouraged HUD to explore means of reducing administrative burden.
