Thus, the City Council <br />directed the development of this Relocation Assistance Program (“Program”) which <br />includes both advisory and financial assistance benefits for all Tenants and Sub-tenants. <br />The Program is designed to assist in relocating Dwellings to a new marina slip or locating <br />a new land-based residence, including financial assistance. In addition, the Program <br />provides enhanced benefits to those who qualify as Seniors, Disabled Persons, Veterans <br />or Low-Income Households. While relocation benefits are not required under state law, <br />the City believes that identifying a process for evaluating the needs of Docktown <br />Households and the potential provision of relocation assistance is consistent with the <br />City’s goals of equity and providing affordable housing assistance. <br />Limitations of the Docktown Plan <br />The assistance described in the Docktown Plan is limited to those persons who meet the <br />definitions of a Tenant, Tenant With Sub-tenant, or Sub-tenant. The Docktown Plan <br />cannot contemplate each and every circumstance that may apply to Docktown <br />Households. Accordingly, a Household's particular needs will be considered on a case- <br />by-case basis.
