NSPIRE and Resident Engagement

Just last month HUD/REAC announced their desire to engage the residents within the new NSPIRE inspection standards. The two ways they plan to accomplish this is (1) by bringing back a comprehensive resident survey and (2) including 5 additional units during a REAC inspection. These extra units will be selected by a “resident group” or other risk model method. What isn’t clear is how the survey might impact your score or how this “resident group” or other risk model might actually convey the 5 additional units to the inspector.
