Which statement best describes the overall purpose of HQS inspections in the program?

HQS inspections verify that a rental unit meets minimum safety and habitability standards, and they ensure necessary repairs are completed to keep the unit safe for occupancy. The goal is to protect tenants by confirming the housing is in decent condition and to keep the program's standards up to date, with repairs prompted when deficiencies are found. This focus on safety, sanitation, and habitability is what drives whether a unit remains eligible for housing assistance. The other options don’t fit because HQS is not about determining tenant income, setting decoration standards, or auditing marketing practices.
