Public housing inspection scores

Source: HUD REAC Physical Inspection Scores — data reflects the most recent inspection for each development. See Understanding REAC and NSPIRE inspection scores for methodology details.

These properties were built or rehabilitated using the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and must rent a portion of units below market rate. Many, but not all, accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers — contact the property directly to confirm current availability and voucher acceptance.
