If you live in public housing, a HUD-funded property, or are a voucher recipient (Section 8), learn about inspections, how to report housing issues, and where to get help. Also, find out what has changed because of COVID-19.
Housing professionals
HUD collaborates with public housing agencies, property agent/owners, lenders, inspectors, and other partners to complete Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspections.
Inspections updates and notices
- Inspections must follow the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE). See the final rule and notices at the NSPIRE Official Notices Page.
- Remote Video Inspections for Housing Choice Voucher Program (PIH Notice 2021-31): Guidance for public housing agencies on conducting Housing Quality Standard (HQS) inspections remotely. Learn more about Remote Video Inspections (PDF).
Inspectors
- Inspector training: Information and training for those interested in conducting public and multifamily housing NSPIRE inspections.
Affordable housing and inspection standards
HUD helps make homes affordable through several rental assistance programs. HUD inspects these properties based on federal inspections standards set by HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC).

Public and multifamily housing
Public housing and multifamily housing properties are inspected every 1 to 3 years. How often they are inspected is based on their previous inspection score. Properties that score well are inspected less often.

Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) programs
In the HCV programs, units must be inspected before a family can move in and at turnover. There are additional inspection requirements for properties with project-based vouchers. Inspections must comply with the NSPIRE Standards after October 1, 2024. See the HCV NSPIRE Administrative notice.
