In March 2014, the ACHP published Managing Change: Preservation and Rightsizing in America, a report addressing rightsizing and historic preservation in America's legacy cities

.It offers community leaders, local stakeholders, and government agencies valuable suggestions on using historic preservation tools and techniques that have proven effective in managing change and building strong, resilient communities.

The report informs citizens, non-profits, and government officials about the important role federal agencies play in assisting communities to address rightsizing. The report also includes a list of federal programs and major foundations that may provide assistance to local governments for transformation initiatives.
