TDHCA and the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) will present National Standards of the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) Training, live online, on Wednesday, October 7, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Central Time.

This training will be led by TDHCA Physical Inspection staff, and provides a solid foundation of information that owners, managers, and on-site staff need to know in order to be in compliance with the new NSPIRE inspection standards. Staff will discuss NSPIRE and outline significant changes and major differences between the Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) and NSPIRE inspection standards. Participants will learn about the 63 NSPIRE standards, the most common deficiencies found under NSPIRE, and receive guidance on how to prepare for upcoming inspections. TDHCA staff will discuss non-scoring defects, delayed scoring defects, new smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requirements, and much more.

Individuals who require auxiliary aids or services should contact Leah Jenkins, TAA responsible employee, at leah@taa.org at least three days before the training so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
