It provides background on the program and a description of what advocates need to know to get started working on properties subject to Mark-to-Market review. The guide is divided into three parts: 1) how to prepare for outreach to properties, select properties and gather resources to help, 2) what to do at each step in the restructuring process to assure effective tenant participation, and 3) the shortened process for Mark-to-Market Lite. Also included are appendices with such items as a check list, flow chart, glossary and sample tenant survey.
