On Jan. 25, HUD released Notice 2023-01354, which notifies Demonstration participants within HUD’s Multifamily Housing program that they will be subject to an inspection through the NSPIRE demonstration. Multifamily Housing participants who do not want to receive a score through NSPIRE before October 1, 2023 are allowed to opt-out and receive an inspection of record through the Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS). Those interested in opting-out should submit a request via email to NSPIRE-Demo-Opt-Out@hud.gov no later than March 1, 2023.

The notice also revises the demonstration so that it ends on the effective date of the NSPIRE final rule.

Demonstration end dates:

• Public Housing: Demonstration ends June 30, 2023
• Multifamily Housing: Demonstration ends September 30, 2023

Should these dates change, HUD will provide an additional notice through the Federal Register.
