Today HUD posted a Federal Register update on NSPIRE compliance for HCV and CPD Programs (such as Continuum of Care).

NSPIRE Extension to 10/1/2025

HCV and CPD can elect to start NSPIRE between now and 10/1/25.  If you already changed to NSPIRE, no further action is needed.  You are good to go.

Smoke Detector Standard Is Changing!

After 12/29/24, Smoke Detectors need to be hard wired or have a 10-year sealed battery.  HUD will update the NSPIRE Smoke Detector standard later this year.

CPD Will Get New Notices

Community Planning Development programs will get further updates in the future. However, per HUD, nothing prevents you from switching to NSPIRE now.
