The Essential Guide for Housing Case Managers
A practical resource designed to support housing professionals in their daily work. This handbook provides an accessible breakdown of critical regulations, spanning from General Law to State Sanitary and Building Codes. Divided into three core sections—Utilities, Building & Rooms, and Tenancy—this guide offers quick insights while citing official codes for deeper exploration when necessary.
