2. 3. 4. b. A relocation assistance advisory program offering the services described in the State Guidelines will be established. c. Eligible persons will be adequately informed of the assistance, benefits, policies, practices and procedures, including grievance procedures, provided for in the State Guidelines. d. Based upon recent survey and analysis of both the housing needs of persons who will be displaced and available replacement housing, and considering competing demands for that housing, comparable replacement dwellings will be available, or provided, if necessary, within a reasonable period of time prior to displacement sufficient in number, size and cost for the eligible persons who require them. e. Adequate provisions have been made to provide orderly, timely and efficient relocation of eligible persons to comparable replacement housing available without regard to race, color, religion, sex, marital status, or national origin with minimum hardship to those affected. f. A Relocation Plan meeting the requirements of State law and the State Guidelines has been prepared. No person shall be displaced until the Agency has fulfilled the obligations imposed by State and Federal law, the California Community Redevelopment Law, the Redevelopment Plan, the State Guidelines and the Agency rules and regulations. No persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced unless and until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for occupancy by such displaced person or family at rents comparable to those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary and an otherwise standard dwelling. The Agency shall not displace such persons or families until such housing units are available and ready for occupancy. If any portion of the proposed Merged Project Area is developed by the Agency with low or moderate income housing units, the Agency shall require by contract or other appropriate means that such housing be made available for rent or purchase to the persons and families of low and moderate income displaced by Agency activities. Such persons and families shall be given priority in renting or buying such housing; provided, however, that failure to give such priority shall not affect the validity of title to real property.
