Relocation Assistance Program Summary This information statement is provided as courtesy by the City of Redwood City as a summary of its Relocation Assistance Program. If any discrepancies exist between this and applicable laws and regulations, those laws and regulations shall prevail. Page 2 1.0 Relocation Advisory Assistance The City contracts with experienced Relocation Advisors who will work with each displaced person to provide assistance throughout the planning and moving process. A Relocation Advisor will meet with each eligible displaced person to explain the Relocation Assistance Program and to learn more about the occupant’s current operation and replacement site needs. The Relocation Advisor will deliver written information regarding eligible benefits and available replacement sites as sites become available. The City’s goal is for each occupant to successfully relocate back into the community. It is important that an occupant actively participate in the relocation process, searching for viable replacement sites, and working closely with a Relocation Advisor to plan for the relocation. Eligible displaced persons shall receive appropriate notices, and advisory assistance to support their understanding of the available benefits and the project schedule. A Relocation Advisor will provide information about available replacement sites. Transportation will be offered to inspect referrals, if needed. An eligible displaced person cannot be required to move unless the occupant has been given at least 90 days’ advance written notice of the date by which they would be required to move. A Relocation Advisor will also help to file claims for reimbursement of eligible expenses under the Relocation Assistance Program. Advisory assistance may include assistance in the referral of complaints of discrimination to the appropriate federal, state, or local fair housing enforcement agency. Relocation Advisors can also act as a resource to possible sources of funding and assistance from other local, state, and federal agencies and will make every effort to help secure the services of those agencies with trained personnel who have the expertise to help. Federal law prohibits the City from using federal funds to provide relocation advisory assistance and payments to displaced persons who are not lawfully present in the United States. Each entity seeking assistance is required to submit a signed Certification of Legal Residency form to receive federal assistance. Please speak with a Relocation Advisor for additional information. Who is an eligible displaced person? A person who is required to move themselves or their personal property for a public or publicly funded project MAY qualify as an eligible displaced person. Many conditions apply. A Relocation Advisor can provide additional information.
