The term "functionally <br />equivalent" means that it performs the same function, provides the same utility, and is <br />capable of contributing to a comparable style of living. <br /> <br />· In an area not subject to unrBasonable adverse environmental conditions from either <br />natural or human sources. <br /> <br />· Currently available to the project occupants. <br /> <br />· Within the financial means of the displaced person, either by their own means or <br />through assistance from the Agency. <br /> <br />Decent, Safe & Sanitary (DS & S). In order to meet decent, safe and sanitary <br />requirements, a replacement site must meet the bllowing criteria: <br /> <br />· Be structurally sound, weather-tight and in good rBpair. <br /> <br />· Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other devises. <br /> <br />· Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature. <br /> <br />· Be adequate in size with respect to the number of rooms and area of living space <br />needed to accommodate the displaced person.
