HUD Announces June Return To Physical Inspections
HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge announced significant increases to physical inspections for both Multifamily Housing and Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) during COVID-19 starting June 1. The restarted inspections will temporarily provide properties with 28 days advance notice instead of the regular 14 day notice. Physical inspections were originally suspended in March 2020, then restarted using a cautious approach that excluded communities serving older adults and limited inspections among most other communities. Secretary Fudge’s letter from April 23 cited the increased availability of masks and vaccinations, as well as concern for the overall health and well-being of HUD-assisted households, as reasons for HUD’s new approach to increase inspections.
