The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and SNRHA share the goal of ensuring our Housing Choice Voucher families live in decent, safe and sanitary housing. SNRHA conducts Housing Quality Standard (HQS) inspections prior to HCV program participants moving into a home and performs inspections annually thereafter. All HCV housing units must meet these standards in order to receive rental housing assistance. HQS is applied to all Project-Based Voucher units as well under the HCV program.
Initial Inspections occur when a voucher holder notifies SNRHA of the specific dwelling unit that they desire to lease. The unit must pass the initial inspection before the tenant signs the lease and before SNRHA signs the housing assistance payments (HAP) contract and makes rent payments.
Once you live in your home, SNRHA will conduct follow-up inspections every year. These annual inspections help ensure that your home continues to meet the standards set by HUD.
Special Inspections, complaint inspections or quality control inspections can be conducted at any time. Complaint inspections occur when a tenant, owner or member of the public informs SNRHA of a complaint about the condition of an HCV assisted housing unit.
Inspection scheduling and reporting is managed by our HQS staff find out the date and timeframe of the next inspection by calling (702) 477-3100. Please be ready to provide your social security number or your SNRHA tenant code to expedite your inquiry.
