PROJECT OCCUPANCY/OVERCROWDING For purposes of determining whether overcrowding conditions exist, an occupancy standard of two persons per sleeping room plus one person in anon-sleeping room was utilized. Based on that occupancy standard, one household to be permanently displaced is overcrowded. Replacement housing referrals to the occupants of this dwelling will reflect the need for larger accommodations. D. REPLACEMENT HOUSING RESOURCES One of the primary purposes of a Relocation Plan is to demonstrate the availability of comparable, affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing prior to the displacement of residential occupants. In order to adequately relocate the Project households, one two- bedroom non-Section 8 unit and one one-bedroom Section 8 unit will be required. A housing survey was made during the third week in November 2008 to identify available comparable, decent, safe and sanitary units available for rent in close proximity to the Project site. Based on the results of that survey, it appears that comparable replacement dwelling units are available to meet the needs of the households, who will be permanently displaced. Table 2 below outlines the resource study and shows the number of available units and their corresponding rents.
