HUD has released The Rehab Guide, a series of nine guidebooks to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The Rehab Guide series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques rather than projects such as adding a new room. When the series is complete, each volume will cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and feature breakthrough materials, labor-saving tools, and cost-cutting practices.

The The Rehab Guides, were developed as part of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). The nine volumes are:

• The Rehab Guide Volume 1: Foundations
  
• The Rehab Guide Volume 2: Exterior Walls
  The Rehab Guide Volume 3: Roofs
  
• The Rehab Guide Volume 4: Windows and Doors
  
• The Rehab Guide Volume 5: Partitions, Ceilings, Floors, and Stairs
  
• The Rehab Guide Volume 6: Kitchens and Baths
