Why Change?
• 2011: Senator Collins (ME) requests an OIG Audit in Maine
• Found inconsistent HQS findings
• Ineffective quality controls
• 2008-Present: HUD Office of Inspector General Audit Reports
• 2,200+ Indirect Findings
• 90+ Direct Findings
• 2014: REAC completed 27,000 QC inspections on HQS
• Inconsistent inspection process
• No electronic data model
• Senate Report FY16 on Housing Quality Standards (HQS):
• “…directs HUD to implement a single inspection protocol for public housing and voucher units…”

Is this Item a Pass or Fail?
Example of subjective language from current HQS

severe buckling, bulging or leaning; damaged or loose
structural members; large holes; air infiltration.

UPCS-V Data Visualization Desktop (DVD)
Defects Prevalence Inspection Forecast
DVD will help enable the feedback loop, where ISDV provides inspection information back to the PHA.
For example, using DVD we will be able to determine defects prevalence; what defects are failing more by PHA. This will help PHAs have better insight into their housing stock, as well as to more effectively resource load. Using DVD we can help forecast inspections. 18
