As HUD moves forward with its NSPIRE overhaul of physical inspections, the agency posted an updated set of draft building standards (V2.1) that will be evaluated during inspections under the new NSPIRE model. LeadingAge has identified several key standards updates in Version 2.1, including related to bathtubs and shower functionality, carbon monoxide detectors, exhaust ventilation, electrical components, and fire extinguishers. HUD is still welcoming informal comments on the draft standards; LeadingAge is compiling feedback on HUD’s specific questions. More info here.
