When the Rules Keep Changing, Who’s Keeping Score?

You started this work to house people. To help your community. To provide something stable.
But now it feels like compliance is a moving target.
First it was HQS. Then came UPCS. Now NSPIRE is shaking up everything from scoring to safety priorities.
And if you don’t have a dedicated compliance team? You're juggling this on top of maintenance, inspections, resident issues, budgets—and real life.
Regulatory Whiplash Is Real
You’re not the only one overwhelmed.
We hear it all the time:
“I didn’t even know NSPIRE had already rolled out.”
“We’ve been using the old checklist—no one told us it changed.”
“We failed an inspection for something we didn’t even know was a priority.”
NSPIRE went into effect in July 2023, and will apply to all public housing beginning in October of 2025; are you ready?
For smaller PHAs, non-profits, and landlords, keeping up feels impossible. And HUD doesn’t send you a heads-up when the rules shift.
Here’s the Good News: You Don’t Have to Memorize It All
Our platform, Inspective AI, keeps you permanently up-to-date. So when HUD updates the standards, your inspections and scoring reflect it—automatically.
Here’s how it helps:
✅ Built-in NSPIRE logic updates in real time
✅ Photo-driven validation to ensure nothing is missed
✅ Auto-prioritization of health & safety risks
✅ Guided inspection tools for anyone on your team
✅ Instant reporting so you don’t have to chase the paper trail
In other words: You do the inspection. We handle the rules.
What You Can Do Right Now
Not sure how prepared you are for NSPIRE?
🔎 Take 10 minutes to pull your last 3 inspection reports. Check them against the new NSPIRE checklist (we’ll send you one). See what’s missing—and where you might already be out of compliance.
Knowledge is power. And the sooner you know, the sooner you can protect your units, your funding, and your reputation.
We’ve Got You
Whether you manage 20 units or 2,000, Inspective AI keeps you current, consistent, and compliant.
No more scrambling. No more guessing. Just smarter inspections—done right, every time.
We are working on an NSPIRE Bootcamp to help you navigate standing up this new program at your housing authority.
