HUD Suspends REAC Inspections
The offices of Multifamily Housing and Public and Indian Housing (PIH) at HUD are suspending REAC inspections until further notice in light of COVID-19. Where there is an exigent circumstance or reason to believe that there is a threat to life or property at a specific location, inspections will be conducted by HUD quality assurance inspectors. HUD staff is working diligently to ensure all housing assistance payments, operations funding and various other funding streams continue to be obligated in the event of a prolonged telework situation. For PIH program questions that are not answered by the FAQs, please email PIH-COVID@hud.gov. The Office of Multifamily Housing Programs also issued their own Q&A document for owners dealing with COVID-19. Read more in Nixon Peabody’s analysis of the document.
