PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: x ATTACHMENT(S) : - INFORMATION CONTACT: Tara L. Fikes Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Plan TELEPHONE NUMBER- Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To adopt a Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Orange County. BACKGROUND: Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) regulations require all localities receiving CDBG funds to adopt a Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan under Section 104 (d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. In summary, this regulation states that all occupied and vacant occupiable low and moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate income housing must be replaced on a one-to-one basis within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion within a CDBG target areas. Should demolition and relocation be deemed necessary, the costs of these activities can be included in the CDBG budget. However, these activities are generally avoided except in the most extreme cases due to the high cost of providing replacement housing. Thus, the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Orange County minimizes residential displacement and provides relocation assistance to displaced residents in a timely manner when necessary. RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends adoption of the Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan for Orange County.
