After recently announcing proposed new scoring methodology for housing inspections through NSPIRE, HUD has issued an NSPIRE scoring calculator on April 21. The NSPIRE Score Calculator is designed to help housing providers estimate a potential NSPIRE score based on the types and locations of deficiencies identified during an NSPIRE inspection. This score only provides an estimate of the actual score generated by a property inspection and is intended to help housing providers better understand the proposed new scoring approach. To help providers use the tool, HUD developed an instructional video available here. HUD is still accepting comments on the proposed scoring Notice until April 27; full NSPIRE implementation will begin for Multifamily Housing providers on October 1, 2023. LeadingAge members can view an in-depth analysis of the scoring methodology here (must be logged in to your LeadingAge account to view).
