Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan
Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as Amended
The ______________________________ will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate-income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 570.488(c)(2), a copy of which is attached hereto.
All replacement housing will be provided within three (3) years of commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the ______________________________ will submit to the state, information that identifies:
A. A description of the proposed assisted activity;
B. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity;
C. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion;
D. The location on a map and the number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units. If such data are not available at the time of the general submission, the submission shall identify the general location on an area map and the approximate number of dwelling units by size, and information identifying the specific location and number of dwelling units by size shall be submitted and disclosed to the public as soon as it is available;
E. The source of funds and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units;
F. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy; and
G. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the housing needs of low/moderate-income households in the jurisdiction.
The ______________________________ will provide relocation assistance, as described in Section 570.488(c), to each low/moderate-income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling to mother use as a direct result of assisted activities.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act,
the ______________________________ will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:
1. Seek funds to provide seed money grants or loans, long-term mortgage loans at favorable rates, or capital grants to tenant groups of multi-family buildings to help them convert to cooperatives.
2. Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration, so they can move back to their neighborhoods after new construction.
3. Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi-family buildings.
4. Adopt policies that help to ensure certain rights for tenants faced with housing conversions.
5. Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with neighborhood organizations to continuously review neighborhood development trends, identify displacement problems, and identify individuals facing displacement who need assistance.
No displacement or relocation is anticipated for this project.
