Displacement Avoidance Policy. The County of Monroe is cOInnli tted to a policy to ',- make all reasonable efforts to ensure that activities undertaken through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or other federal funding will not cause unnecessary dis- placement or relocation. Such federally funded programs will be administered in such a manner that careful consideration is given during the planning phase with regard to avoiding displacement. The County will also provide information to and keep citizens involved in the process regardiug pending land use changes, zoning and rezoning actions that threaten the preservation of residential areas. Involuntary displacement shall be reserved as a last resort action necessitated only when no other alternative is available and when the activity is determined necessary in order to carry out a specific goal or objective that is of benefit to the public. In this case, community development and housing programs will be planned in a manner which avoids displacement of households or business. However, "voluntary" displacement (temporary or perma- nent) may be necessary in order to achieve a benefit to a household or business (such as rehabilitation or replacement of the building). Such benefits shall be identified and requested by the displacee. Voluntary displacement may also occur when a property owner voluntarily offers his home or business property for sale to the County. In these cases, the seller may be required to waive rights as a condition of sale of the property, and the Uniform Relocation Act provisions will govern actions of the County and/or its representative. 24 CFR Part 570 is a governing document on displacement and is incorporated by reference. 49 CFR' Part 24 provides Uniform Relocation Act information and is incorporated by reference. As pertains to the County's tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Plan, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Handbook #1378, September, 1990, shall be adopted in its entirety. II. Definitions of "Standard" and "Non-Standard Suitable for Rehabilitation" Dwelling Unit Condition. In the absence of federal and state provided defini- tions, the following is provided to establish a frame of reference and context when dealing with matters of displace- ment and/or relocation as defined in 24 CFR Part 570 and 49 CFR Part 24. A. Standard Condition A dwelling unit is considered standard if it has no major defects or only slight defects which are correctable through the course of regular maintenance. It must be in total compliance with applicable County housing and occupancy codes; be structurally sound, watertight and in good repair; be adequate in size with respect to number of rooms and area of living space and contain the following: 1. A safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other normal electrical devices. 2. A separate, well-lighted and ventilated that provides user privacy and contains commode, and bathtub or shower stall. bathroom a sink, 3. An appropriate, sanitary and approved source of hot and cold potable water. 4. An appropriate, sanitary and approved sewage drain- age system. 5. A fully usable sink in the kitchen. 6. Adequate space refrigerator. and service connections for a 7. An unobstructed egress to a safe, open area at ground level, and 8. Be free of any barriers which would preclude ingress or egress if the occupant is handicapped. Failure to meet any of these criteria automatically causes a dwelling to not be considered "standard." B. Substandard Condition Suitable for Rehabilitation A dwelling unit is considered substandard if it does not fully comply with the standard criteria,' or has minor de- fects which require a certain amount of correction but can still provide safe and adequate shelter or has major defects requiring a great deal of correction and will be safe and adequate once repairs are made. To be suitable for rehabilitation, a trained housing specialist must carefully inspect the dwelling and prepare a work write-up of repairs necessary to bring it up to standard condition. A cost estimate of repairs will be prepared based on the needs identified in the work write-up. If these costs are equal to or less than 65% of the value of a comparable replacement unit as obtained from more than one licensed contractor, the dwelli~g from more than one li~ensed con- tractor, the dwelling will be considered suitable for rehabilitation. If the predicted cost exceeds 65%, the unit will be deemed unsuitable. This criteria is arbitrary, however, and the County Com- mission may authorize deviations based on the unique aspects of each dwelling, owner, tenant, etc. on a case by case basis. Each deviation so approved must be thoroughly documented. Displacement Policy and Procedures III. Permanent, \ Involuntary Displacement The County will provide reasonable relocation assistance to persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, displaced (moved permanently and involuntarily as a result of the use of CDBG/federal assistance to acquire or substantially rehabilitate property. Assistance to displaced persons may include: a) Payment for actual moving and relocation expenses documented by receipts and/or vouchers from service providers and utility companies. The documents hall be submitted prior to the disbursement of payment. I b) Advisory services necessary to help in relocating. c) Financial assistance sufficient to enable the displaced person to lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling where the cost of rent and utilities does not exceed 30 percent of the household gross income of a family earning 80 percent of the median income for the jurisdiction. A. Provisions for One-on-One Replacement , ! All years of relating ments: The County will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate-income dwelling units demolished or converted to use other than as low/moderate-income housing as a direct result of activities ,assisted with'funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and as described ,in 24 CFR Part 570. Replacement low/moderate-income units may include public housing or ex- isting housing receiving Section 8 project based-assistance. I i replacement housing will be provided within three the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation to conversion and will meet the following require- I 1. The units will be located witrrin the County. 2. The units will meet all applicable County housing, building, and zoning ordinances and will be in standard, or better, condition. 3. The units will be designed to income dwelling units for at date of initial occupancy tenant only). remain low/moderate- lest 10 years from the {applies to initial 4. The units will be sufficient in size and number (functionally equivalent) to house at least the number of occupants who could have been housed in the units that are demolished or converted. Before obligating or expending CDBG/federal funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the local government will make public and submit to the Florida Department of Community Affairs and/or the u.s. Department of Housing and Urban Development the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed assisted activity. 2. The general location on an area map including approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than low/moderate-income dwelling units. 3. A time schedule for commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion. 4. The general approximate (number of replacement location on a service area map and number of dwelling units by S1ze bedrooms) that will be provided as' units. 5. Identification of the source of funding at the time of submittal and the time ~rame, location and source for the replacement dwelling unit. 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will be designed to remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. 7. Information demonstrating that any prqposed replacement of a unit with a smaller unit is con- sistent with the housing needs of LMI persons in the jurisdiction. B. Provisions for Relocation Assistance for Residential Displacement. The County will provide relocation assistance~ as de- scribed in 24 CFR Part 570, to each low/moderate-income household involuntarily displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate~income dwell- ing to another use as ~ di~ect result ofCDBG/fede~ally assisted activities. Persons that are relocated are entitled to: 1. A choice between actual reasonable moving expenses or a fixed expense and dislocation allowance. 2. Advisory services. 3. Reimbursement for reasonable and necessary security deposits and credit checks. 4. Interim living costs, and 5. Replacement housing assistance which may include a Section 8 housing voucher/certificate and referral to assisted units; cash rental assistance to reduce the rent an utility cost or lump sum payment equal to the present value of rental assistance install- ments to be used toward purchasing an interest in a housing cooperative or mutual housing association for a period up to 60 months (5 years). C. Provisions for Non-Residential Reloc~tion Businesses, non-profit organizatio~s, etc., shall not be relocated unless the move 'is voluntary, essential to the project from the public view, and the owner waives his/her rights under the Uniform Act except for the following relo- cation assistance: 1. Actual moving and reasonable reestablishment expenses not less than $1,000 nor more than $20,000 equal to a prorata share for the period of inter- ruption of operations of the average annual net earnings. Average annual net earnings are one half of the entity's net earnings before taxes during the two taxable years immediately prior to the taxable year it was displaced. 2. No other benefits will be provided and a signed waiver acknowledging that fact will be required. IV. Temporary, Voluntary Displacement and Relocation. A. Persons occupying housing which is to be rehabilitated using CDBG/federal funds must voluntarily agree to inclusion, in the program and shall vacate the housing at the direction" of the County (or its designed agency), in order to facilitate the safe, timely and economical rehabilitation process. B. A moving allowance of $300 will be provided each family unit so displaced. This allowance wiLl be provided in two payments of $150 each on move out and move back in. C. The County may provide a safe, decent and sanitary housing unit for use as temporary relocation housing. The unit shall be available free of cha~ge to temporarily displaced households for the time period authorized by the County's designated agency" generally for the period of rehabilitation construction. 'Households' who occupy the unit shall have a $75 refundable deposit withheld from their initial moving allowance payment. This deposit shall be refunded in full immediately after the relocation unit is vacated in a clean and undamaged condition. The deposit refund shall be denied in full or in part for paymeqt of damages to the owner/lessee due to the occupants', (a) failure to properly clean or maintain the unit, (b) physical damage to the unit, (c) loss of keys to the units, or (d) need for any special condition such as fumigation. A $25 per day penalty may also be assessed for the household's failure to properly vacate the relocation unit when directed to do s by the County's designated agency. D. A storage allowance of up to $150 will be provided each family unit displaced if storage is necessary and essential to the move. E. Insurance cost of up to, $100 for the replacement yalue of the household property in connection with the move will be provided each family unit displaced if storage is necessary and essential to the move. V. Permanent, Voluntary Displacement and Relocation. If it is determined by the County ithat occupants of a dwelling should be permanently relocated, and the occupants voluntarily consent, the gove~nment will; assist in the relo- cation to a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit. Bene- fits, if provided, will be limited to increases in monthly housing costs incurred by the occupant in an amount equal to the lesser of 60 times the increase or 30 percent of the person's annual income. 24 CFR Part 570 must be consulted to determine specific limitations. VI. Tenant Assistance Policy/federal Rental Rehabilitation Program. A. It is not the local government's policy to displace families in rental units. participating landlords will be required to warrant that the proposed rehabilitation will not cause any tenant to be permanently displaced unless the owner will be able to relocate the tenant displaced in accordance with HUD relocation criteria. Rental Rehabilitation funds will not be used to rehabilitate the structures if the reha- bilitation will cause the permanent displacement of LMI families. B. If it becomes necessary for an owner to temporarily move a tenant from a unit as a direct result of rehabilitation assisted through rental rehabilitation funds, the oWners will assure that the tenant is offered a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit at an affordable rate as described in the applicable regulations. No tenant will be considered displaced if the owner has offer~d the tenant a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit and the tenant has declined the offer. c. Should temporary displacement become necessary for a LMI family as a ~esult of the rental rehabilitation assistance, the owner will assure that tenants are provided the necessary financial assistance, information, counseling, referrals and housing location options regarding Federal Fair Housing rights in accordance with the County's FaIr Housing Ordinance and other relocation services as needed without regard to race, color, religion, sex, familial status, age, handicap or national origin, so as to enable the family to obtain decent, safe and sanitary housing at an affordable rent. D. The Housing Authority at the County of Monroe shall provide federal preference to any qualified LMI family, sub- ject to relocation. Where Section 8 Housing vouchers are available, such preference will apply. E. Where required compensation to obtain replacement hous- ing shall not exceed $3,000 threshold. Should such projected compensation to the tenant exceed this threshold, considera- tion shall be given to not performing the demolition rehabil- itation which would cause the displacement. VII. Displacement of Homeowners When rehabilitation of the ,dwelling is ~otfeasible of cost effective, demolition of house with CDBG/federal funds may be considered, only as a voluntary action by the home- owner. Although homeowners have a right to assistance as pre- viously 'discussed, CDBG/federal funds available for reloca- tion assistance are limited. Therefore, financial assistance shall not exceed that described in acqordance with 49 CFR 24.401, and the regulations under u.S. HUD Handbook 1378. VIII. Appeals/Counseling A. If a claim for assistance is denied by the County, the claimant may appeal where applicable to either the State of Florida or u.s. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and their decision shall be final unless a court determines the decision was arbitrary and capricious. B. Counseling will be provided to displacees in the areas of household finance, fair housing rights, real estate transactions, and locating and evaluating replacement housing options. Counseling shall be provided by the County or its designated agency. To permanently displaced households to ensure that: 1. No person is discriminated against based upon age, race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, or presence of children in the house- hold. 2. Displacees receive information concerning the full range of housing opportunities within the local housing market.

A priority system has been established to identify and clarify mandatory work items and other work items which address program goals. The priority system includes the following four improvement categories: ~ateqor'y A: County Code items that threaten the health and safety of residents (e.g., basic structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems). Ca~or.y_B: Those items which are code deficiencies, but are not threatening health and safety, or that are incipient violations (major systems in danger or failure, e.g., a hot water heater that is properly vented, but is within a year or two of its life expectancy). ~a1;eqor'y c: Items r'el ated to weather.i z at ion and Cateqor.y D :_ Other' items deemed el i 9 i b 1 e by the SPO, Monroe County Housing Authority. interior and exterior painting; security measures; others considered on a case-by-case basis.

The form of assistance to the bene- ficiary shall be a deferred loan. If the housing unit rehabilitated under this program is inherited by the owner's immediate family, the deferred loan shall continue in force as long as the immediate family lives in the housing unit and is of low income or very low income. Five years after completion of the rehabilitation, the balance due on a deferred loan made to a very low income person, if not previously repaid, shall be reduced by 20 percent per year until the balance due is reduced to zero. If the owner does not comp I y wi th these condi ti ons, then the loan, wi 11 be due and payable in full. \ 2 PRIORITY FOR PROCESSING Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The SPO will consider the property and owner characteristics in setting priorities for processing per program requirements and the financial feasibility of the required rehabilitation.
