Today HUD officially announced a drastic change to the REAC process. Effective 30 days from today, REAC will only provide properties a 14-day notice for an inspection. Refusal to schedule will result in a zero (0) score.
If the second attempt to schedule results in a successful inspection within seven calendar days, the resulting score will be recorded.
The prospect of a 14-day notice has been rumored around the industry for the last few months, but it is now official. Now more then ever, it is important to stay on top of your annual inspections and staff training.
HUD has also proposed other changes to the REAC process, but is currently hosting listening sessions across the country to get industry feedback. We will attend one of those listening sessions in March.
