RVI Survey of Residents

RVI Survey of Residents

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would like to hear from you about your willingness to participate in its Remote Video Inspection (RVI) through this pre-inspection survey.
An RVI is a flexible way to conduct physical property inspections and is a form of visual inspection which uses a computer or smart device to allow an inspector or team of inspectors to assess the health and safety of your residence from a distance. RVIs are often used because the items at a property are inaccessible or are in dangerous environments, or whereby circumstances prevent an in-person inspection. HUD may routinely conduct RVIs in the future.
If applicable to you and your residence, you may be asked to assist with conducting a physical property inspection. This involves having the ability to: smell mold or a gas leak; open a window; climb stairs; reach above your head for some time; and, operate a smart device with a front and rear camera.
The responses from this pre-inspection survey will help HUD identify properties with residents, who meet to criteria for assisting with an RVI to assess the quality of public housing and the services provided to residents. This survey is voluntary. Your responses are confidential and will not be linked directly to you in reports or documents. This survey presents no direct risk or benefit to you other than the opportunity to participate in efforts to improve the quality of HUD public housing programs overall.
