fo In working with residential displacees, special assistance in the form of referrals to governmental and social service agencies will be made, if needed. Referral agencies may include the Department of Public Social Services for income maintenance and food stamps, Medi-Cal and Child Protective Services. Senior citizens and handicapped persons may be directed to the Social Security Administration, as well as to senior care agencies in the community. Additional agencies and resources which may be utilized in providing needed assistance include the Veterans Administration, Alcoholics Anonymous, Catholic Community Services and the City of Santa Aha Housing Authority. 2. Financial Assistance The Register intends to provide relocation assistance payments on a per unit basis. The payments will be computed based on current bedroom and household size, actual rent at the time of displacement and a set cap rental amount. The financial aid for individual households will be the total of a lump sum payment, rent differential payment and a bonus differential allowance. .3. On Site Mana~em'ent On site management o[ the apartments will continue until all units are vacant and up to when the final units will be demolished. Pacific Relocation Consultants will be responsible for administering the relocation program and will work closely with the existing on site property management personnel. Apartment and grounds maintenance will be provided and security will be provided as buildings are vacated to reduce any potential security issues associated with the presence of the vacant buildings prior to demolition. The Register conducted a survey to determine the availability of replacement housing in the City of Santa Aha between March lg and May 27, 1990. The survey included tabulating rental units by rent amount from Register newspaper ads and interviews with property managers of rental units in the area. The survey located lg.5 available one bedroom units at monthly rents of $400 to $:5~0 or greater; 162 two bedroom units at monthly rents of $.~.50 to $72.5; 6/t three bedroom units at monthly rents of Sg00 to $9~0 or greater; and :5 four bedroom units at monthly rents of $1,100. These units were all located in the City of Santa Aha. It is likely that a certain number of displacees will elect to move to adjacent areas outside the City of Santa Aha. This would in effect expand the potential area for replacement housing resources which would ultimately increase the choice of replacement units available to any given household. Although these measures will substantially lessen the impact of the removal of 190 housing units, the impact cannot be reduced to a level of insignificance. POPULATION, EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING Significant Effect As noted above, the proposed project would result in the removal of 190 apartment units from the housing supply in the City of Santa Aha, and would result in the relocation of approximately 1,000 persons. 17
