Group Issues New MF Occupancy Guidebook

The National Affordable Housing Management Association, Alexandria, Va., has issued a new guidebook designed to help owners and managers of multifamily housing properties understand their responsibilities under HUD's recently revised guidelines.Titled "Managing Occupancy: A Companion Guide to HUD's Occupancy Handbook," the guidebook covers issues such as technical problems likely to be faced by front-line housing management staff. Those problems include how to determine annual and adjusted income or calculate rent, and larger policy issues of interest to senior-level managers and property owners. The guide, produced by The Compass Group of Washington, D.C., may be of interest to attorneys and housing consultants, individuals interested in multifamily housing management, housing regulators and contractors, or tenant advocates.
