B~verly A~ Authel~t, City Cler~ Resolution No. 85-93 Page 3 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA RELOCATION ASSISTANCE POLICY FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM Recent changes in the regulations governing the expenditure of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds require that the City establish a policy governing the provision of relocation assistance to any family, individual, business, nonprofit organization or farm that results from implementation of its CDBG programs. It is the policy of the City to avoid displacement of all families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations and farms in carrying out its CDG8 programs. No displacement is expected to result from the activities proposed for the 1985-86 fiscal year. However, in the event that operation of any of the CDBG funded programs results in the voluntary or involuntary displacement of any family, individual, business, nonprofit organization, or farm {whether owner or renter) the City will provide relocation assistance in accordance with the standards and guidelines set forth in the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act and Section 7260 ~ of the State of California Government Code (Title 25, Chapter 6) and the guidelines issued by the Commission of Housing and Community Development. The City will meet its relocation responsibilities through the use of its staff and consultants, supplemented by assistance from local realtors, social agencies, and civic organizations. It is the City's objective that all displacees be relocated with a minimum of hardship in accommodations which are decent, safe, sanitary, and suitable to their individual needs; located in areas not less desirable than their current location in regard to public utilities and public and commercial facilities, and reasonably accessible to their customers or places of employment; and priced within their financial means. The City anticipates no relocations, and will handle those which result from implementation of CDBG activities in an individual, case-by-case manner. Services provided to eligible displacees shall include but not be limited to: o Providing information on project activities, rights, benefits, and options open to them. o Maintaining liaison between displacees and agencies or firms with resources to assist them (e.g., Chamber of Commerce, Small Business Administration, Office of Local Economic Development lending institutions, realtors, etc.) ' o Locating, inspecting, evaluating, or stimulating the production of accommodations to meet the needs of all displacees. Resolution ~'jo. 85-93 Page 4 o Assisting displacees in obtaining financing. o Assisting displacees in securing priority consideration for Section 8, public housing, or other housing assistance programs. o Making referrals to appropriate social, community, and welfare agencies. o Assisting eligible displacees to prepare claims for all relocation assistance payments to which they are entitled. o Keeping records, maintaining files, and coordinating all relocation activities. o Providing all families, individuals, businesses, institutions, and farms which are displaced by CDBG-funded programs, with written notice of this policy, the types of service available to them, and the amount of relocation assistance benefits for which they may be eligible. (Payments will be those established by State and Federal guidelines.) City staff and consultants will be available to answer questions and provide information, and by their early involvement to see that relocation proceeds with a minimum of hardship.
