55 Module 2.1 Case Study The Relocation Plan Priority Ladder Project Information The subject project is an expansion of an existing east / west roadway by the State DOT in a developing community. The right-of-way acquisitions for this project include the following: Total take of a gas station Eight-Family apartment building Two single-family residences A single-family residence which includes a licensed auto body repair shop in a separate building Two businesses located at the intersection of the expanded roadway and cross street Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in six months, with a construction letting scheduled one year after r/w acquisition begins. The Agency has completed all interviews except for the business owner of a bar and package store. Your group has received twenty cards listing information that may be relevant to the development of the relocation plan for this project in one of the following categories: Residential interviews (Yellow) The Smith s have 6 children; all 8 family members currently live in a 3 bedroom home; they are owner-occupants; low-income and cannot afford higher real estate taxes. A disabled grandparent may require level entry at the replacement dwelling. 6 tenants occupy dwellings and receive government rental assistance. Elderly couple occupies a 5 bedroom, 50 year old house. Business interviews (Pink) Business disposes of hazardous materials as part of its operation. Language barrier exists with business owner who speaks little English. Auto body repair shop has two bays; one with a pit and one with a hydraulic lift the lift is personal property Bar and package store will be displaced.

56 Availability of replacement sites (Blue) Housing Authority says they have no units available for displaced persons receiving government assistance. There are adequate rental replacement dwellings on the south end of town, which is generally considered less desirable than subject area. Housing market appears tight especially for 3 and 4 bedroom rentals. You need to estimate the value of each owner-occupied dwelling to determine if housing of last resort will be needed Concurrent displacements (Salmon) Proposed second phase of the subject project, possibly two years from now, will displace a large number of tenants Local airport authority considering runway expansion may affect residential neighborhood area City has project displacing 20 residences / 3 businesses beginning in 6 months State is implementing a first-time home buyer program Schedule (Green) Business with 6 employees will need to build a replacement facility Phase I environmental studies show that 3 properties need Phase II environmental assessments Property management section asks for a list of all property owner names and addresses to prepare for demolition Consultant engineering firm informs DOT they are behind schedule in completing design plans Prioritize the information listed on each card in relation to the relocation plan so that the one your group thinks is the most important to consider when developing a relocation plan for this project will receive a 1 and the least important will receive a 4. Appoint a spokesperson for the group to explain your group s reasoning. We will then discuss your reasoning and logic used in prioritizing the items for your relocation plan. Note: Assume the NEPA process is complete.

Answers b and c are correct e. Answers a, b and c are all correct 6. Match the four relocation notices with their respective purposes by drawing lines to connect the items in Column (A) and Column (B) Column (A) Column (B) A. General Information Notice 1.

Notification to the displaced person that he or she may be displaced by the project C. Ninety-Day Notice 3. Informs displaced person that he or she will be displaced by the project D.

The home is occupied by Wayne and his son, Jared. A week before closing, Wayne suddenly dies and Jared inherits the home. The will is probated in one week and Jared is now the sole owner of the property. He closes with the City one week later on the same terms and conditions his father previously accepted. 3. Kevin O Grady is a Canadian citizen who resides in the United States for employment reasons. He readily acknowledges that he is not legally present in the United States and is not legally employed here in the US. His dwelling is being acquired for a federally funded project.

152 Module Case Study 5.1 Rental Supplemental Payments Mr. and Mrs. Hillman, along with their son and daughter rent and occupy a single family dwelling containing 1,900 square feet that is being acquired for the LUC highway project. The dwelling has 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. The Hillman family has rented the property for three years. The current rent is $1,100 per month and total utilities average $150/month. Total monthly gross household income for the Hillmans is $4,100. You as the Relocation Agent have located three good comparable rentals and selected your Prime Comp which is currently available for $1,375 per month, including all utilities. The Hillman s live in Toledo, Ohio and you have found the following income criteria from HUD s website: Question 1: Compute the Hillman s Rental Assistance Entitlement. 1

What effect does this have on the rental assistance maximum payment? Question 4: Using the figures you computed at Question 3 above, the Hillmans have found a suitable replacement dwelling that is being offered for rent at $1,200. The replacement rental s utilities total $150/month. Calculate the Hillman s final Rent Supplemental Payment. 2

It ensures the agency will make available a comparable rental dwelling to a displaced tenant d. It ensures the Agency will guarantee a rental dwelling to all aliens whether legal or illegal 2.

True or False: Your Displacee pays their landlord $100/month for the right to live in a very nice apartment and they perform landscaping services without pay to supplement the cash payment of rent. In this instance you would first have to establish their Market Rent before calculating their RSP Offer. 4. Explain Down Payment Assistance eligibility with regard to the calculations the Agency would perform by filling in the missing information: The Agency must first compute a to establish the maximum amount of Down Payment Assistance. However, if the amount is less than, in Ohio, we have adopted a uniform practice of offering each displaced person a of for Down Payment Assistance. ODOT Relocation 101 Page 1 Quiz Module 5

174 Case Study 6.1 Challenging Relocations You have been handed all of the difficult relocations on the Cleveland Innerbelt project. Using the provisions of Last Resort Housing and good business practices, determine one or two likely scenarios to resolve each of these situations. 1. Bad Credit: The Seasly family is a long-term owner-occupant, but the family has had some difficult times. A year ago, Mr. Seasly lost his job and the family credit is in bad shape. They cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage but will require a mortgage to purchase housing. 2. Poor References: The Philabaum family has been in a dispute with their landlord for the last several months. The landlord has stated that if it were not for the proposed project, he would have evicted them. He refuses to provide them a reference, and that has led to the denial of their rental application from other landlords. You have not found a landlord that will rent to the family.

175 3. Government Assisted Housing: The Link family is receiving a housing choice voucher and will be displaced on the Innerbelt project. You have worked with the local public housing authority (PHA), but still cannot locate a comparable replacement dwelling that they can occupy using the housing choice voucher. You need to move this family in the next few months. 4. Non-DS&S: The Stewart family currently owns and resides in a three bedroom home; however, there are too many people for the size of the dwelling according to the local housing codes. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart; the four children (two boys and two girls); and Mrs. Stewart s elderly aunt. You have located only three bedroom homes in the area, and the Stewarts need to stay in this area since they walk to work and school, and have no other transportation.

176 5. Disabled Modifications: You have computed a rental subsidy for Mark Manzo, and he has found a very nice apartment within those computed amounts. However, he reminds you that he still needs assist bars in the bathroom. The landlord has agreed to install these but he also wants to be paid for the installation and future removal of these items if Mr. Manzo should move from the dwelling. He is worried that the next tenant would consider the items a detriment to the property.

180 Module 6 Quiz 1. Explain Last Resort Housing by choosing the most accurate explanation: a.
