III. THE TEMPORARY RELOCATION PROGRAM <br />The Developer's Temporary Relocation Program is designed to minimize hardship, be <br />responsive to unique project circumstances, emphasize maintaining personal contact with all <br />affected individuals, consistently apply all regulatory criteria to formulate eligibility and benefit <br />determinations and conform to all applicable requirements. <br />The relocation program consists of two principal constituents: advisory assistance and financial <br />assistance (Relocation Benefits). <br />A. ADVISORY ASSISTANCE <br />Individuals who will need to move from existing homes temporarily will receive advisory <br />assistance. Advisory assistance services are intended to inform displacees about the <br />rehabilitation process and the relocation program as well as facilitate any claims processing: <br />To follow through on the advisory assistance component of the relocation program and assure <br />that the Developer meets its obligations under the law, Developer staff will perform the <br />following functions: <br />Distribute appropriate written information concerning the Developer's relocation <br />program; <br />Inform eligible project occupants of the nature of, and procedures for, obtaining <br />available relocation assistance and benefits. <br />Inform all persons subject to temporary displacement of the Developer's policies with <br />regard to eviction and property management. <br />B. TEMPORARY RELOCATION BENEFITS <br />All residential occupants to be temporarily relocated will be eligible to receive a fixed payment <br />for moving and related expenses. Each one-bedroom household will receive two fixed payments <br />of $625 each for both the move into a temporary unit on-site as well as the move back into a <br />rehabilitated unit. Each two-bedroom household will receive $800 for each move. The tenants <br />will only be responsible for the utilities in the unit in which they are residing during any phase of <br />the project. Utility or phone transfer fees are included in the fixed moving payment. <br />There is no anticipated need for rental assistance payments, because the tenants will be housed <br />on the Project site during the temporary move phase. They will pay the same rental rates for <br />their temporary units as they are paying in their current units. <br />6 <br />80B-15 <br />
