Breaking News 2/3/25: HOME Final Rule Delayed

February 3, 2025 by Alejandro Dominguez

HUD’s new final rule for the HOME Program was delayed to April 2025. 

What You Need to Know

The “HOME Investment Partnerships Program: Program Updates and Streamlining” Final Rule, published by HUD on 1/6/25, was set to become effective on 2/5/25.

However, on 2/3/25, HUD announced the rule would be delayed till 4/20/25.

The delay complies with a presidential memo that pauses pending rules in the Federal Register by at least 60 days.

What is in the Final Rule?

“This final rule revises the current HOME regulations to update, simplify, or streamline requirements, better align the program with other Federal housing programs, and implement recent amendments to the HOME statute.”

This notice also makes changes for the implementation of NSPIRE. 

All CPD programs must switch to NSPIRE property standard for inspections by 10/1/25.

For the HOME Program, this means UPCS will be replaced by NSPIRE as the new inspection standard.

How Should We Switch to NSPIRE?

NSPIRE has been effective since 2023 for several programs, such as Housing Choice Voucher, Project-Based Multi-Family, and Public Housing. 

As such, UPCS Inspectors LLC has already trained hundreds of students on NSPIRE!

Once the final rule becomes effective, we will announce the dates of our NSPIRE for the HOME program class.

This class will replace our UPCS for the HOME program class some of you have taken.

It will educate you on the NSPIRE inspection, the HOME Final Rule, and Participating Jurisdiction’s responsibilities.

All CPD Programs Must Switch to NSPIRE by 10/1/25

Please stay tuned for the announcement of the NSPIRE for the HOME Program Class.

You can visit our website at any time to look at class schedules for other programs.
