If the rooms are expanded, several of the households that are currently <br />living in overcrowded conditions may have an opportunity to return to the property once the <br />rehabilitation is completed. One household may not be eligible to return to the property after <br />rehabilitation is completed due to household size. This household is a family of six living in one <br />motel room. After rehabilitation is completed, it is anticipated that thee will be no units large <br />enough to accommodate this household. The Agency's Relocation Consultant will work closely <br />with all eligible households to identify and secure replacement housing.

In order to determine the feasibility of relocating the project <br />occupants into the surrounding community, the Agency contracted with Associated Right of Way <br />Services to research the area housing market and to prepare this Relocation Impact Study and <br />Last Resort Housing Plan. A survey of the area housing market revealed that an adequate <br />number of rooms and apartments are available for rent each month to accommodate the <br />relocation of the displaced households. <br /> <br />Based on the survey of the housing market, it is anticipated that some ofthe tenants will <br />incur additional housing expenses upon relocation. The Agency's Relocation Assistance <br />Program will provide the necessary assistance to allow the occupants to secure comparable, <br />decent, safe and sanitary replacement housing in the area. This assistance includes help in <br />finding and securing replacement housing, rent differential payments and moving cost <br />reimbursement. <br /> <br />The Agency will provide relocation benefits to all eligible displaced households. These <br />relocation benefits are briefly explained in this Study in the section entitled 'Relocation <br />Assistance Program". The Agency will provide these benefits in accordance with its policies and <br />procedures, and in compliance with the California Relocation Assistance Law (Government <br />Code 97260 et seq.) and implementing guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 25, <br />Chapter 6). <br /> <br />Relocation Impact Study and Last Resort Housing PlaniPage 3 <br />
