Learn about NSPIRE and the future of REAC inspections! NSPIRE will be the "law of the land". Join us and become an NSPIRE ACE.
It doesn’t matter if you’re managing a HUD or LIHTC property — or any of the many voucher programs — NSPIRE is the universal inspection standard, and it is vital that you not only know it, but are an expert in it. US Housing Consultants has the first-of-its-kind comprehensive NSPIRE certification course for all funding programs and applications, and we developed it with you in mind.
We will teach you everything you need to know and much more. And we will do it all in a single-day course! US Housing Consultants offers a thorough analysis of every NSPIRE standard as well as how to recognize deficiencies, conduct inspections, and understand the operational implications of the change from HQS and UPCS to NSPIRE.
NSPIRE’s requirements for components align with International Building Code (IBC), International Code Council (ICC), and UFAS/ADA Accessibility Requirements, as well as fire and life safety standards. The ACE Certification course addresses the basis for NSPIRE standards while conveying the complete requirements rather than simply glossing over the bare minimum. Without a complete deep dive into NSPIRE, properties could make changes to meet inspection standards that end up creating fair housing violations. We’ll help you avoid this and other pitfalls.
NSPIRE isn’t just a new checklist, it’s a new way of thinking about inspections that everyone from executives and property managers to professional inspectors and maintenance professionals need to understand. If you’re accustomed to conducting HQS and UPCS Inspections, you must now understand NSPIRE's definitions of a deficiency. You'll also need to know how to properly test the components throughout the process. In short, everyone from the boardroom to the boiler room needs to thoroughly understand all NSPIRE standards.
US Housing Consultants will explain NSPIRE policies and procedures (broken down by funding program), give you the score on the REAC scoring process, and present an in-depth analysis of each NSPIRE standard. In this detailed course, our vibrant and expert trainers explain standards and deficiencies, show detailed examples, and describe the step-by-step requirements for each component required to be inspected under NSPIRE.
For an additional fee, attendees can take an online exam to earn the NSPIRE-ACE Certification after course conclusion.
