II. Assessment of Relocation Needs <br />A. Survey Methods <br />To obtain necessary information for the preparation of this Plan, field research of potentially <br />affected residents and business operator was conducted. The research included in-person <br />interviews and field analyses of affected residential and commercial parcels to identify displaced <br />occupants and gather preliminary information for relocation planning. <br />Detailed in-person interviews were conducted with affected residential occupants to gather <br />necessary information, including information such as household size and composition, income, <br />monthly rent obligation, length and type of occupancy, language, disabilities/health problems, <br />and replacement housing preferences (Exhibit A). Survey questions of business owner concerned <br />the nature of the business, leasehold circumstances, annual revenues, description and size of <br />current operations, special facility requirements, relocation concerns and area preferences with <br />respect to possible replacement locations (Exhibit B). <br />In-person interviews are an important factor in the planning and relocation of displacees. In the <br />early planning process, careful attention is paid to the physical needs of individuals with <br />disabilities, and elderly displacees to make sure that these individuals receive appropriate care <br />and housing. <br />The interviews were conducted on-site in homes and places of business in English, Spanish, or <br />other necessary languages, as appropriate. Follow-up contacts were made with occupants to <br />gather more information and/or to provide information or notices that would be or were made <br />through personal visits and by telephone. <br />The descriptive data in this Plan concerning residents and businesses are based on in-person <br />interviews and field observations. Samples of the residential and business interview forms used <br />in the interview process are attached as Exhibits A and B of this report. <br />B.
