<br /> <br />Orange Housing Development Corp. (the Developer) has proposed the rehabilitation of <br />1501 N. Ross Street into a mix of affordable housing units (the Project). In addition to <br />interior and exterior rehabilitation activities, the Project involves the rehabilitation of the <br />property from studio unit apartments to a mix of 1- & 2-bedroom affordable housing units; <br />reducing the overall number of units from 30 to 24 units. As a result of the planned <br />rehabilitation, households will need to be displaced temporarily or on a permanent basis, <br />subject to qualifying occupancy and income standards to return to the rehabilitated units. <br /> <br />Funding for the Project will come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development <br />(HUD) HOME program, administered through the City of Santa Ana's Community <br />Development Agency (the Agency); Agency tax increment monies; tax credits; and, <br />Developer funds. The use of HOME Program funds and the involvement of the Agency <br />trigger the need to provide relocation assistance and benefits in accordance with federal <br />law (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.), HUD relocation guidelines (HUD Handbook 1378), California <br />relocation law (California Government Code Section 7260 et seq.) and the California <br />relocation guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 25 Chapter 6). <br /> <br />Among the regulatory requirements applicable to the Project, is the need to prepare a <br />relocation plan. The purposes of the relocation plan, in broad terms, are to address the <br />needs of potential displacees, the availability of adequate replacement housing and the <br />means by which required assistance will be provided. <br /> <br />This relocation plan (the Plan) has been prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. <br />(OPC), a professional consulting firm specializing in public agency acquisition and <br />relocation projects for submission to the Agency. The Plan is organized in 4 sections: <br /> <br />Section I: Project description and general demographic data <br /> <br />Section II: Profile of tenants who may be displaced <br /> <br />Section III: Description of available housing resources <br /> <br />Section IV: Description of the relocation assistance program <br /> <br />Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. <br /> <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />80A-11 <br />
