DESCRIPTION:
The Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA) has made a myriad of changes to the Housing Choice Voucher program and Public Housing. This course focuses on the policy changes and impacts that HOTMA will have on the agency administrative plan/ACOP and will help you identify where your agency must change, update, or create policies to ensure HOTMA compliance. We will also discuss different policy types and review samples. All registrants are provided a participant guide with valuable tools for customizing their own policies and incorporating them into agency documents.
-
Effectively understand the components and requirements of HOTMA.
-
Understand where your agency will need to create, change, amend, or update policies.
-
Ensure compliance with the HOTMA.

November 18th - 20th Virtual Classroom
DESCRIPTION:
This program is designed for the Housing Choice Voucher Program that is now required to implement the new inspection program known as National Standards for the Physical Inspections of Real Estate (NSPIRE). This is not the Public Housing programs course.
HUD has begun a complete review and revamp of the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspection protocols for HCV and other assisted housing programs. This training will help attendees understand the new standards, the scoring system and the impact of the deficiencies identified during the inspection. Agencies are completely transitioning from UPCS to NSPIRE and need to start preparing for the implementation of NSPIRE.
During this training, participants will learn about the new NSPIRE protocol, including the new 63 standards, types of deficiencies, impact on the scoring, and administration. The training will include photos of actual deficiencies so individuals will understand the new criteria, and the differences between life-threatening, severe, moderate and low. The 3 areas of inspection will be covered – Outside, inside, and unit.
Get your agency ready for implementing the new protocol — We will take you deep into the standards, the impact of each deficiency, and provide methods to focus on and correct life-threatening and severe conditions to improve an agency’s scores.
OBJECTIVES
After completing this training, participants will be able to:
Provide a greater understanding of the new inspection requirements and standards
Provide methods to improve the scores of the Housing Choice Voucher Program

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
