The project area is home to residents of diverse languages and cultures. <br />However, all occupants are fluent in English. If translation services are needed, the Agency will <br />make every attempt to communicate wth those households and to provide the necessary <br />additional advisory assistance to secure a replacement site. <br />Demographics. Of the 36 motel occupants that claim the motel as theirprimary <br />residence, 23 are African American and 13 are Anglo American. <br />Income. Twenty households provided information regarding their household income. <br />Of those households, only one household reported income that exceeded 50% of area median <br />income.
