HUD Issues Correction to Housing Inspection Standards Notice

HUD corrects NSPIRE sampling table
If you own or manage a property covered by HUD programs (including Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance, Section 202/811, and HUD‑insured Multifamily), HUD corrected two unit-range rows in Table 9 of the NSPIRE scoring and sampling methodology. The rows now read 111-133 (UPCS sample 22-23; NSPIRE sample 26) and 134-166 (UPCS sample 23-24; NSPIRE sample 27). HUD republished the full Table 9 and states the UPCS and NSPIRE sample sizes are unchanged; the correction is effective January 17, 2025.
