Home Browse Search

2007 Dear The Wilshire & Minnie, L.P. (Developer) has submitted an application for financial assistance with the City of Santa Ana to rehabilitate the building which you occupy. This notice is to inform you that, if the assistance is provided and the building is rehabilitated, you will not be required to move permanently. Therefore, we urge you not to move anywhere at this time. (If you elect to move for reasons of your choice, you will not be provided relocation assistance.) You will be able to lease and occupy your present apartment (or another suitable, decent, safe and sanitary apartment in the same building /complex), owned by the Developer, upon completion of the rehabilitation. Of course, you must comply with standard lease terms and conditions. After the rehabilitation, your initial rent, including the estimated average monthly utility costs, will not exceed the greater of (a) your current rent, or (b) 30 percent of your average monthly gross household income. Households moved to larger sized units to satisfy state occupancy standards will be charged rents at a level based upon the relocation plan prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. If you must move temporarily so that the rehabilitation can be completed, suitable housing will be made available to you for the temporary period, and you will be reimbursed for all reasonable extra expenses, including all moving costs and any temporary increase in housing costs. As a result of the necessity for temporary relocations, the Developer is required to prepare a Relocation Plan to assess the relocation needs of those being temporarily displaced as well as to identify the relocation program that will be followed to assist in the relocation of occupants. Therefore, the Developer has retained Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. (OPC) to prepare an assessment of your relocation needs. In order to prepare this relocation plan, OPC staff will need to conduct personal interviews with you in order to prepare this Plan. Again, we urge you not to move. If the project is approved, you can be sure that we will make every effort to accommodate your needs. Because Federal assistance is involved, you would be protected by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. This letter is important and should be retained. You will be contacted soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions or want to schedule an appointment for the personal interview, please contact Craig Justesen of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc., 100 West Broadway, Suite 500, Long Beach, CA 90802 -4432, telephone (562) 304 -2000. Sincerely, [NAME] [TITLE] [AGENCY]
