Housing Quality Standards help HUD and local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) accomplish that goal by defining \u201cstandard housing\u201d and establishing the minimum quality criteria necessary for the health and safety of program participants. All HCV housing units must meet these housing standards in order to participate in the HCV program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>When do HQS Inspections Occur?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Initial Inspections \u2013 Occur when a voucher holder indicates to their PHA that they desire to lease a specific housing unit. The unit must pass the initial inspection before the execution of the assisted lease and housing assistance payments (HAP) contract and the ignition of payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Biennial Inspections \u2013 Occur every other\u00a0 year on housing units that are currently under lease by an HCV participant family. Biennial inspections ensure that HCV housing units continue to meet HQS throughout the tenancy of the HCV participant family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Special Inspections \u2013 May be complaint inspections or quality control inspections. Complaint inspections occur when a tenant, owner, or member of the public complaints about the condition of an HCV housing unit. Quality control inspections examine a sample of housing units within a given PHA\u2019s jurisdiction each year and occur throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>HQS INSPECTION CHECKLIST <\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/kenedyha.org\/demo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/HQS-INSPECTION-CHECKLIST.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;LEARN ABOUT FAIR HOUSING&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:center|line_height:27px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668496440680{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #8b0c19 !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 194px;\" width=\"344\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/affh\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/Fair%20Housing%20and%20Evictions%20Main%20Page\">Fair Housing and Evictions<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/aboutfheo\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">About FHEO<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/online-complaint\">File A Complaint<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/fair_housing_rights_and_obligations\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Fair Housing Rights and Responsibilities<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/fair_housing_resources\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Resources<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/program_offices\/fair_housing_equal_opp\/sexual_harassment_resources\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Sexual Harassment Prevention<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#293049&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Follow Us on Facebook!&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|font_size:20px|text_align:center|line_height:27px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-page\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bluebonnetsquare\" data-tabs=\"timeline\" data-width=\"\" data-height=\"512\" data-small-header=\"false\" data-adapt-container-width=\"true\" data-hide-cover=\"false\" data-show-facepile=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bluebonnetsquare\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bluebonnetsquare\">Kenedy Housing Authority<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Inspections What is the purpose of Housing Quality Standards?
