All information of a statistical nature supplied by the occupants was validated by documentary evidence required to comply with relocation qualifying criteria. At the time of.:this Plan, we had received written income documentation from the Developer for alI ten households:.Income level is a determining factor as far as whether a household will be-;permanently or temporarily displaced. OPC made assumptions and based our results on the written documentation received from the Developer and the verbal responses of the tenants, and. determinations were made as of the date of this Plan.
