<p style='margin-left:48px; text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) seeks proposals from firms with expertise in National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE) and Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) training (the Proposers) to provide NYCHA with NSPIRE and HOTMA specific training for NYCHAs property management and central office staff, on both the Public Housing side and the Housing Choice Voucher side. This will consist of training sessions (each a Session) and testing materials for the sessions.  The topics for NSPIRE included in the Sessions must be customized to ensure NYCHAs staff is able to (a) comply with the rules and regulations set forth in HUDs NSPIRE program (b) conduct visual  inspections of Public Housing Developments in accordance with HUDs Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS), and (c) identify and repair deficiencies found pre, during, and post NSPIRE inspections in accordance with industry standards. The Sessions must also require participants to take an exam (the Exam), the passing of which will provide the participant with a certification of completion and continuing education credits for specialized NSPIRE/UPCS courses related to public housing (collectively, the Certification of Completion and Credits). The topics for HOTMA must include all relevant topics for compliance and all updates from legislation passed  from HUD in relation to HOTMA (as described further in the RFP), which cover policy changes including, but not limited to: (a) asset limitation, (b) calculating income, (c) deduction and expenses, (d) income, and (e) income exclusions. Therefore, Proposers must have all required accreditations and certifications necessary to prepare and teach the Sessions, to administer the Exam to participants, and to grant participants who pass the Exam the Certification of Completion and Credits. The foregoing services that NYCHA seeks pursuant to this RFP are more fully described within <strong>Section II </strong>of this RFP .</span></span></p><p style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12pt'><span style='font-family:Aptos,sans-serif'>A non-mandatory Proposers conference (<strong>Proposers Conference</strong>) will be hosted online via Microsoft Teams on<strong> October 21, 2026 </strong><strong>at 10:00 a.m.</strong> Although attendance is not mandatory at the Proposers Conference, it is strongly recommended that all interested Proposers attend, and that Proposers thoroughly review bid documents in advance of the meeting.
