Exhibit 2 V. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS A. NOTICES Each notice, which the Owner is required to provide to a Project occupant, shall be personally delivered or sent by certified or registered first-class mail, return receipt requested and documented in the case file. Each notice will be written in plain, understandable language. Persons who are unable to read and understand any notice will be provided with appropriate translation and counseling. Each notice will indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions or other needed help. There are four principal notices: 1) Informational Statement 2) Notice of Non -Displacement (qualified tenants) 2). Notice of Eligibility (tenants to be permanently displaced) 3) Notice to Vacate A Notice of Non -Displacement (NOND) will be distributed to each qualified tenant household (Exhibit D). The NOND to the household contains a determination of eligibility to remain in a Project unit post -rehab. The notice also describes the benefits for which the household is eligible. The NOND will be issued to the qualified households once Project funding has been secured. A Notice of Relocation Eligibility (NOE) will be distributed to each household to be permanently displaced (Exhibit E). The NOE to the tenants contains a determination of eligibility for relocation assistance under specific relocation programs and a computation of maximum entitlements based on information provided by the affected household and the analysis of comparable replacement properties identified by relocation staff. The households will receive NOES as soon as the Project funding is approved, and all of the household information requested has been submitted by the households. No resident will be asked to temporarily or permanently move to another on -site Project unit without having received at least 30 days' advance written notice of the earliest date by which the move will be necessary. The Relocation Notice or Vacate Notice will state a specific date by which the occupants are required to move and will provide the address of the new Project unit for the household (Exhibit F). No household will be required to move permanently from the Project without having received at least 90 days' advance written notice of the earliest date by which the move will be necessary (Exhibit F). A date -specific vacate notice will not be issued to any tenants before comparable replacement dwellings have been made available to them and the Relocation Plan has been approved by the local governing body. In addition to the four principal notices, Owner staff will issue a timely written notification in the form of a Reminder Notice, which discusses the possible loss of rights and sets the expiration date for the loss of benefits to those persons who: 1) are eligible for monetary benefits, 2) have moved from the property, and 3) have not filed a claim for benefits. 17
