On June 14, HUD’s Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Office of the Assistant Secretary sent an email to PHA's stating that the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate for Vouchers (NSPIRE-V) implementation compliance deadline has been extended until October 1, 2025.
HUD will update the NSPIRE smoke alarm standard to include either hard wired or sealed, 10-year batteries in smoke alarms, and PHA's will have to comply with this requirement by December 23, 2024.
As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your DOH Single Point of Contact (SPOC).
