Finding 1223495 (2025-002)

Finding #2025-002 14.871 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Special Tests and Provisions - National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE)/Housing Quality Standards Inspection Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Management respectfully disagrees with this finding. GHURA’s HCV program remains committed to our biennial inspection requirements and are fully compliant with all applicable regulations. When a unit fails inspection, we work quickly to resolve the issues and ensure housing standards are met, as outlined in 24 CFR Part 982. In accordance with 24 CFR 982.405(d), we provide both participants and landlords adequate time to correct deficiencies, which is documented in our system. We remain compliant in our conduct and oversight of these requirements. Should there be a late HQS biennial inspection, this should not interrupt the HAP. Suspending these payments creates an undue burden for participants and strains our partnership with landlords. Unless a unit is deemed unsafe, HAP will continue. HAP abatement and reimbursement policies are in place should they need to be activated to retrieve HAP in instances where it was not entitled. Explanation of Disagreement: The list provided below is insufficient to claim any finding in HQS due to the following: TOTAL: 32 entries (table provided to support explanation) 17 families ended their participation before the biennial inspection was due. 5 families were port-out participants before the biennial inspection was due. 5 units were recorded to have inspections completed before the biennial inspection due date and passed inspection. 1 unit inspection was completed on time, but failed on the first inspection. 1 unit inspection was completed on time, but was a no entry on the first attempted inspection. 1 family moved out of the unit before the biennial inspection. 1 family had incorrect dates in this list and was recorded to have met the biennial inspection and passed inspection. 1 family’s inspection was late by 17 days, however, the inspection was completed and passed in that same month, which did not affect the HAP.
