US Housing Consultants

US Housing Consultants is a compliance consultancy for affordable housing. It works for owners, managers, syndicators, law firms and state agencies with HUD, LIHTC, USDA/RD, HOME and public housing properties, on inspections, resident files, policies and staff training.

On the inspection side it runs pre-NSPIRE and pre-REAC inspections whose reports go past a checklist into detailed notes, photographs and prioritised repair advice, and its consultants train property staff on what to look for and how to make repairs stick. It also performs NSPIRE inspections for voucher programs, capital needs assessments, due diligence inspection walks and Section 504 UFAS accessibility reviews.

On the compliance side, resident file review and approval covers LIHTC, HUD, RD and public housing units including layered funding, submitted through an online portal and returned as a second set of eyes on each certification. Related work includes TRACS and HAP processing, utility allowance studies, remote certification processing, HCV and public housing compliance, SEMAP review, ACOP and administrative plan drafting, and HOTMA and NSPIRE implementation plans. Entryway+ goes further and takes the leasing and certification process over entirely: the property submits a request, the firm texts the applicant, runs the online application and a video interview, then enters everything into the property's software. The firm also sells InspectCheck inspection software and published field guides.

Training is a business in its own right, with LIHTC, HUD multifamily, NSPIRE, USDA and fair housing courses delivered live and self-paced, plus ACE certification tracks for HUD, USDA/RD, HOME and LIHTC. Fees are not published, and staff work remotely from a contact address in Concord, New Hampshire, so ask which specialists cover your state and programs before engaging.
