Informational Statement for <br />1. GENERAL INFORMATION <br />lies and, Individuals <br />(Federal) <br />The dwelling in which you now live is in a project area to be improved by, or financed through, the <br />Displacing Agency using federal fimds. If and when the project proceeds, and it is necessary for you to <br />move from your dwelling, you may be eligible for certain benefits. You will be notified in a timely manner <br />as to the date by which you must move. Please read this information, as it will be helpful to you in <br />determining your eligibility and the amount of the relocation benefits you may receive under the federal <br />law. You will need to provide adequate and timely information to determine your relocation benefits. The <br />information is voluntary, but if you don't provide it, you may not receive the benefits or it may take longer <br />to pay you. We suggest you save this informational statement for reference. <br />The Displacing Agency has retained the professional firm of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. (OPC) to <br />provide relocation assistance to you. The firm is available to explain the program and benefits. Their <br />address and telephone number is listed on the cover. <br />PLEASE DO NOT MOVE PREMATURELY. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE TO VACATE YOUR <br />DWELLING. However, if you desire to move sooner than required, you must contact your representative <br />with Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc., so you will not jeopardize any benefits. This is a general <br />informational brochure only, and is not intended to give a detailed description of either the law or <br />regulations pertaining to the Displacing Agency's relocation assistance program. <br />Please continue to pay your rent to your current landlord, otherwise you may be evicted and <br />jeopardize the relocation benefits to which you may be entitled to receive. Once the Displacing <br />Agency acquires the property, you will also be required to pay rent to the Displacing Agency. <br />2. ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A REPLACEMENT DWELLING <br />The Displacing Agency, through its representatives, will assist you in locating a comparable replacement <br />dwelling by providing referrals to appropriate and available housing units. You are encouraged to actively <br />seek such housing yourself. When a suitable replacement dwelling unit has been found, your relocation <br />consultant will carry out an inspection and advise you as to whether the dwelling unit meets decent, safe <br />and sanitary housing requirements. A decent, safe and sanitary housing unit provides adequate space for <br />its occupants, proper weatherproofing and sound heating, electrical and plumbing systems. Your new <br />dwelling must pass inspection before relocation assistance payments can be authorized. <br />3. MOVING BENEFITS <br />If you must move as a result of displacement by the Displacing Agency, you will receive a payment to <br />assist in moving your personal property. The actual, reasonable and necessary expenses for moving your <br />household belongings may be determined based on the following methods: <br />• A Fixed Moving Payment based on the number of rooms you occupy (see below); or <br />• A payment for your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Ex enses based on at least two <br />written estimates and receipted bills; or <br />• A combination of both (in some cases). <br />55A-40 <br />
