Pender County, North Caronlina HQS Inspection Checklist Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program Mobile App

Before the Housing Authority can make payments on behalf of a tenant family, the unit must meet HUD's minimum Housing Quality Standards (HQS). These standards have been implemented by HUD nationwide to ensure that all assisted units meet minimum health and safety standards. The Housing Authority will inspect the unit for HQS initially and at least annually. The information on this checklist provides an idea of basic HQS requirements. Other elements may be considered depending upon the type and location the rental unit.
