III. HOUSING RESOURCES <br />Rehabilitation work in the Project will result in the need to temporarily displace residents <br />from their units. Temporary relocation needs will be met by utilizing available on -site units, <br />if any. Households that cannot be accommodated on -site will be provided temporary units <br />off -site in either comparable apartment or motel accommodations. <br />Since the rehabilitation is planned to last between three to fourweeks, finding landlords that <br />will allow occupancy of only a month is not likely. Therefore, it is anticipated that most <br />households will be provided temporary housing at motels. Regardless, both types of <br />temporary sites were researched and the following is the information gathered. <br />A survey was conducted during the month of November 2004 to determine the availability <br />of rental housing resources within the City of Santa Ana. The results, summarized below, <br />indicate the number of found units by bedroom size, the cost range in each category and <br />median market rent for each category. The one - bedroom and two- bedroom units found <br />were all apartments. The three- and four - bedroom units included apartments and single - <br />family rental units. Housing availability is not expected to be a factor in the relocation <br />process, given the balance between needs and available resources. <br />Table 4: Rental Unit Availability and Cost by Bedroom Size <br />1 bdr <br />2 bdr <br />3 bdr <br />4 bdr <br /># Found <br />48 <br />34 <br />15 <br />4 <br />Rent Range <br />$750- $1,100 <br />$1,15041,670 <br />$1,500 42,500 <br />$1,750- $2,300 <br />Market Median Rent <br />$975 <br />$1,250 <br />$1,700 <br />$2,000 <br />The survey of motels reflected two types of units available; units with cooking facilities and <br />those without. The following are the results of the survey. Twelve motels in the radius of <br />1-4 miles from the Project were contacted and willing to provide the information needed. <br />Five motels have cooking ability within their units by providing refrigerators, microwaves, <br />stoves and even dishwashers to their clients. In some cases they have studio or one <br />bedroom suite accommodations. The weekly rates for these motels range from $260 -$560 <br />depending on the size of the unit, number of beds and amenities available. The remaining <br />seven motels might offer refrigerators and microwaves but do not provide cooking facilities <br />Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. 4-20 Page 8 <br />
