    NSPIRE for Public Housing

    June 30, 2023: A new webinar with Samantha Sowards and Michael Petragallo

    HUD REAC will begin using NSPIRE protocols to inspect your public housing units this summer. Let us help you get ready to implement NSPIRE for your Public Housing program! NMA’s industry-leading experts will conduct an in-depth discussion of NSPIRE tailored to the needs of agencies with public housing units. We’ll discuss scoring, software, the different types of inspections, what to expect during an inspection, how to read the standards, and your most commonly asked questions.

    Note: This training will not cover the HCV program. NMA will offer a session tailored to the HCV program later this summer. Stay tuned!
