Episcopal House scores 94 on new NSPIRE inspection!
NSPIRE stands for National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate, a model used by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to inspect HUD-assisted housing. The NSPIRE model focuses on health and safety, functional defects, and improving the quality of life for residents. NSPIRE inspections focus on three areas: the unit, inside the building, and outside the building. This streamlined approach helps inspectors identify deficiencies and ensures that all areas are safe and habitable.
