The Station District Project <br />1. Residential Moving Expense Payments <br />All residential occupants to be relocated may be eligible to receive a payment for moving <br />expenses. Moving expense payments will be made based upon the actual cost of a <br />professional move or a fixed payment based on a room-count schedule. <br />a. Actual Cost (Professional Move) <br />The displacee may elect to retain the services of a licensed professional mover, in <br />which case the Agency will pay the actual cost of moving services, based on the <br />lowest of two acceptable bids. (The Agency may, at its discretion, solicit <br />competitive bids to determine the lowest, reasonable move cost.) After the move <br />is complete, the Agency will make a direct payment to the mover. <br />b. Fixed Payment (based on Room Count Schedule) <br />The displacee may, while taking full responsibility for the move, elect to receive a <br />fixed payment for moving expenses based on a room count in the displacement <br />dwelling. The fixed payment is a one-time, all inclusive allowance that does not <br />require back-up documentation. The current schedule for fixed payments is set <br />forth in Table 8: <br />TABLE 8: Schedule of Fixed Moving Payments <br />Unfurnished Dwelling <br />Room <br /> <br />count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 <br /> <br />F <br />ach <br />Fadd <br />t <br />ional <br />Amount $625 $800 $1,000 $1,1751 $1,4251 $1,6501 $1,9001 $2,150 $225 <br />Furnished Dwelling <br />Room <br />count 1 each additional <br />Amount $400 $65 <br />Source: California Department of Transportation <br />2. Rental Assistance to Tenants Who Choose to Rent <br />A tenant displaced from a dwelling may be entitled to a Replacement Housing Payment <br />in the form of rental or downpayment assistance not-to-exceed $5,250 (prior to <br />consideration of eligibility for Last Resort Housing benefits - see Last Resort Housing, <br />Section IV, E), if the displacee: <br />1. Has actually and lawfully occupied the displacement dwelling for at least 90 <br />days immediately prior to the initiation of negotiations; and <br />2. Has rented, or purchased, and occupied a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement <br />dwelling within one year (unless the Agency extends this period for good cause) <br />after the date he or she moves fi-orn the displacement dwelling. <br />13 <br />55A-18
