On October 19, LeadingAge hosted a call with leadership from HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) to hear the latest updates on physical inspections and the NSPIRE Demonstration program. The LeadingAge members-only call featured presentations and a moderated Q&A with HUD REAC Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Ash Sheriff and HUD REAC Program Assessment Manager Tim Weese.

During the call, HUD staff discussed HUD’s recent two-year extension to the NSPIRE demonstration program; once the demonstration period ends (now April 30, 2023), HUD’s new NSPIRE protocol will replace the agency’s current approach to physical inspections in HUD-assisted properties. In response to advance questions submitted by LeadingAge members, HUD REAC leadership provided updates on what to expect from NSPIRE and UPCS inspections during the coming months and years.

HUD’s slides are available here, and a recording of the call is available here, with the Q&A portion starting at minute 21:40. A LeadingAge summary of the call is forthcoming.
