Informational Statement for Families and Individuals (CA State) 1. GENERAL INFORMATION The dwelling in which you now live is in a project area to be improved by, or financed through, the Owner using state and/or local funds. If and when the project proceeds, and it is necessary for you to move from your dwelling, you may be eligible for certain benefits. You will be notified in a timely manner as to the date by which you must move. Please read this information, as it will be helpful to you in determining your eligibility and the amount of the relocation benefits you may receive under state law. You will need to provide adequate and timely information to determine your relocation benefits. The information is voluntary, but if you don't provide it, you may not receive the benefits, or it may take longer to pay you. We suggest you save this informational statement for reference. The Owner has retained the professional firm of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPQ, a division of TranSystems to provide relocation assistance to you. The firm is available to explain the program and benefits. Their address and telephone number are listed on the cover. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE PREMATURELY. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE TO VACATE YOUR DWELLING. However, if you desire to move sooner than required, you must contact your agent at OPC, so you will not jeopardize any benefits. This is a general informational brochure only and is not intended to give a detailed description of either the law or regulations pertaining to the Owner's relocation assistance program. Please continue to pay your rent to the Owner, otherwise you may be evicted and jeopardize the relocation benefits to which you may be entitled to receive. Once the Owner acquires the property, you will also be required to pay rent to the Owner. 2. ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A REPLACEMENT DWELLING The Owner, through its representatives, will assist you in locating a comparable replacement dwelling by providing referrals to appropriate and available housing units. You are encouraged to actively seek such housing yourself. When a suitable replacement dwelling unit has been found, your relocation agent will carry out an inspection and advise you as to whether the dwelling unit meets decent, safe and sanitary housing requirements. A decent, safe and sanitary housing unit provides adequate space for its occupants, proper weatherproofing and sound heating, electrical and plumbing systems. Your new dwelling must pass inspection before relocation assistance payments can be authorized. 3. MOVING BENEFITS If you must move as a result of displacement by the Owner, you will receive a payment to assist in moving your personal property. The actual, reasonable and necessary expenses for moving your household belongings may be determined based on the following methods: • A Fixed Moving Payment based on the number of rooms you occupy (see below); or • A payment for your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses based on at least two written estimates and receipted bills; or • A combination of both (in some cases).
