Determine an appropriate timeframe in which non-FHA-insured Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) properties converted under the Rental Assistance Demonstration should be initially inspected, work with HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) to ensure that inspections are ordered and completed within that timeframe, and update HUD’s publicly available and internal guidance to ensure consistent messaging in accordance with HUD’s determination.

Status

As of July 2025, Multifamily Housing planned to develop and implement adequate policies, procedures, and controls to ensure non-FHA insured PBRA properties under RAD are inspected within 90 days after the original date of the HAP contract, unless the property has been approved for inspection delay during major rehabilitation, then within 90 days after the end of the approved inspection delay. Further, Multifamily Housing will provide appropriate updated guidance to both internal and external partners relative to non-FHA-insured PBRA properties converted under RAD. The target completion date is September 30, 2025.

Analysis

Determining the appropriate timeframe for initial inspections would result in the timely identification and correction of life-threatening and non-life-threatening deficiencies.

The recommended corrective action has the potential to directly impact the health and safety of families.

HUD OCIO should identify needs to address Federal requirements by performing a gap analysis on its zero trust architecture strategic plan.

HUD OCIO should establish a zero trust architecture implementation plan that includes milestones and resources to address all zero trust pillars.

HUD OCIO should develop system policies and procedures for dynamic access controls that include just-in-time and just-enough access tailored to individual actions and individual resource needs.

HUD OCIO should capture risks that are associated with zero trust architecture implementation and document these risks in its risk register.
