First Street Apartments Project Relocation Plan V. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS A. NOTICES Each notice, which the Developer is required to provide to a Project occupant, shall be personally delivered or sent by certified or registered first -class mail, return receipt requested and documented in the case file. Each notice will be written in plain, understandable language. Persons who are unable to read and understand any notice will be provided with appropriate translation and counseling. Each notice will indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions or other needed help. There are three principal notices: 1) the General Information Notice, 2) the Notice of Relocation Eligibility, and 3) the Ninety -Day Vacate Notice. The General Information Notice (GIN) is intended to provide potential relocatees with a general written description of the Developer's relocation program and basic information concerning benefits, conditions of eligibility, noticing requirements and appeal rights. (See Exhibit C) GINs were mailed via regular and certified mail to the affected business occupants in late January 2015 and hand - delivered to occupants in March 2015. The GIN for the residential tenants was delivered in August 2015 after they were identified. A Notice of Relocation Eligibility (NOE) will be distributed to each relocates. The NOE to the commercial occupants includes a description of the benefits categories for which the business owners are eligible. The NOE to the residential relocatee contains a determination of eligibility for relocation assistance and a computation of a maximum entitlement based on information provided by the affected household and the analysis of comparable replacement properties undertaken by relocation staff. The NOE will be issued to any eligible permanent displacee once the Project has been approved and Project funding is inplace. No lawful occupant will be required to move without having received at least 90 days advance written notice of the earliest date by which the move will be necessary. The 90 -day notice will either state a specific date as the earliest date by which the occupant may be required to move or state that the occupant will receive a further notice indicating, at least 30 days in advance, the specific date of the required move. In addition to the three principal notices, Developer staff will issue timely written notification in the form of a Reminder Notice, which discusses the possible loss of rights and sets the expiration date for the loss of benefits to those persons who: 1) are eligible for monetary benefits, 2) have moved from the acquired property, and 3) have not filed a claim for benefits. 24 55F -31
