<br />Current Rent and Affordability. Motel rent rates are established by the property owner <br />and vary depending upon the number of occupants in each room. Weekly rent rates range from <br />$265 to $357. <br />The majority of households reported that they are currently paying more than 30% of <br />their monthly income towards rent. Relocation Regulations state that housing lAhich exceeds <br />30% of a household's adjusted gross monthly income is not "affordable housing" nor is it within <br />the financial means of the displaced household. Therefore, all eligible displaced households will <br />be assisted through the Agency's Last Resort Housing Program so that their rent for a <br />comparable replacement site will not exceed 30% of the household's adjusted gross monthly <br />income. Other affected households will be eligible to receive assistance under the Agency's <br />Last Resort Housing Program if their total Rental Assistance exceeds $5,250. <br /> <br />Transportation. Of the occupants that 'M9re interviewed, many reported that they had <br />at least one car per household. However, several of the occupants reported that they rely <br />heavily on public transportation. Bus service is available several blocks from the motel. Every <br />attempt will be made to help the households secure replacement housing with similar access to <br />public transportation. <br /> <br />Relocation Impact Study and Last Resort Housing Plan <br />Page 9 <br />
