I. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Bernardino ("Agency") proposes to
adopt a Relocation Plan for the Arden Guthrie Project ("Project"). The Project area
includes parcels located between the boundaries of Highland Outer Highway South and
E. 20th Street, and between Guthrie Street and Arden Avenue. The site consists of
approximately 17 acres of which the Agency owns more than 50% of the vacant
parcels. There are 25 four-plex units and 2 vacant lots that the Agency intends to
acquire. The Agency intends to keep the stakeholders, residents, and landlords
(businesses) informed during the process of the design and construction for the
planned improvements. Figure 1 project area.
The Agency in cooperation with Home Depot, Inc., a Delaware Corporation
("Developer") and Mr. Scott Beard and Mr. Mark Sandoval ("Co-Developer") propose to
build a new 139,000 square foot Home Depot, which would be in addition to their two
existing stores already located in the San Bernardino area. The developer is also
reviewing a development plan that may be combined with the Home Depot center that
would create a soccer complex, youth-oriented reiail businesses and restaurants. This
project is designed to enhance the area, develop new jobs and increase the local
economy.

Impacts related to the redevelopment project include the potential displacement of
existing residential uses, landlord (business) opportunities, and potential short-term
construction impacts relating to circulation, noise, dust and utility relocation. However,
mitigation efforts will be implemented in conformance to the California Environmental
Quality Act statutes.
The Relocation Plan was completed by California Property Specialists, Inc. and is
organized into seven sections as follows:
I. General Information
II. Project Location and Description
III. Assessment of Relocation Needs
IV. Relocation Resources
V. Relocation Assistance Program
VI. Administrative Provisions
VII. Attachments and Exhibits
PURPOSE OF THE RELOCATION PLAN
The purpose of the Relocation Plan is to provide the Agency with information about the
impact of the proposed Arden Guthrie Project on the residential and business
occupants to be displaced.
More specifically, the limits and primary objectives of the Plan are as follows:
1. Conduct a survey of relocation needs of the occupied households and
businesses (landlords) displaced by the proposed Project.
2. Perform an analysis of the relocation needs to determine location factors and
characteristics required in identifying comparable replacement housing sites.
The replacement housing sites should exhibit:
a. Equivalency to the displacement unit.
b. Compliance with applicable local housing codes.
c. Provision of decent, safe and sanitary housing.
d. Affordability to the displaced person. .
e. Availability in an area, which is compatible with the housing needs and
location factors established in the survey.
f. Available on the market.
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.
5
g. Available to displacees without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex,
marital status or national origin.
3. Conduct a survey and analysis of available relocation resources. This survey
will aid in determining whether comparable replacement resources are available
to the affected residences and businesses (landlords).
4. Outline the Agency's relocation procedures, funding sources and time frame for
relocation activities. This is to ensure that uniform, fair and equitable treatment
is provided to all displacees of the proposed Project.
5. Determine the needs of displacee as well as the potential costs to effectively
relocate the displacee within the Project.
6. Determine any need for a Last Resort Housing plan for relocation of any
household that will require financial assistance beyond the limits set by the state
and federal statutes.
NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH
The Agency intends to notify all property owners and occupants within the project area
the plan. It will be made available for review and comments in accordance with state
guidelines. The Agency will determine the necessity of neighborhood outreach
meetings during the relocation process. If appropriate, at that time, the Agency and/or
their representatives will coordinate and conduct community outreach meetings.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Plan has been prepared in accordance with California Relocation Assistance Law
("CRAL") (Government Code 7260) and the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended ("URA") the Agency will ensure
the following:
1. Timely and full access to all documents relevant to the relocation program. The

III. ASSESSMENT OF RELOCATION NEEDS
SURVEY METHOD
To gather the necessary information for the Relocation Plan, door-to-door surveys were
conducted with tenants and owner-occupants within the project area during the month
of December of 2006. There are a total of twenty-five (25) four-plexes consisting of one
hundred (100) units in the project area, however at the time the surveys were
completed, eighteen (18) units were vacant. Surveys were completed on seventy one
(71) of eighty-two (82) residential households equating to an eighty-five (86.5%) rate.
There are twenty-five (25) property owners that will be treated as landlord (businesses),
one of which is an owner-occupant who may receive a replacement housing payment in
addition to any business benefits they may qualify to receive. The surveys were
conducted in English and Spanish to facilitate the understanding of the questions and
the respondent's self expression. (Refer to Section VIII, Exhibit A for sample Relocation
Interview Forms.)
The residential occupants were asked about the number of occupants, size of unit,
length of occupancy, disabilities or special needs, household income, desired area for a
replacement dwelling, etc. The information provided by the occupants has not been
verified by supporting data and is solely based on verbal information, which is sufficient
for the purpose of completing the Relocation Plan.
RESIDENTIAL DATA AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
FIELD SURVEY DATA
The households are composed of eighty-one (81) tenant-occupied dwellings, and one
(1) owner-occupied dwelling. From the seventy (70) respondent households thirty-five
(35) are of Hispanic or Latino origin (50%), twenty-six (26) are African American
(37.14%), seven (7) are White (10%), one (1) is Chinese (0.1%) and one (1) is Middle
Eastern (0.1 %). The Project area population, based on information gathered in our
survey, is composed of one hundred sixty-seven (167) adults and one hundred sixty-
two (162) minors.

PROJECT AREA OCCUPANCY
The respondent housing mix of the Project area consists of twenty-five (25) four-plexes.
Table 1 below shows the number of bedrooms per housing unit.
PROJECT AREA RENTS
The average monthly rent paid for a two-bedroom unit in the project area is
approximately $725.00. Table 2 below itemizes the ranges paid for monthly rent
(including government assistance), based on bedroom count. Refer to Exhibit 0 for
additional details.
REPLACEMENT HOUSING NEEDS
Replacement housing needs for tenant occupants are based on the ratio of total
household's occupants to number of bedrooms. The HUD standard for the maximum
number of occupants for a one-bedroom dwelling is three (3) persons; for a two-
bedroom up to five (5) persons, and for a three-bedroom (3) up to seven (7) persons.
Referrals provided to any potential displacee will reflect the appropriate bedroom count
as required by government regulations and Agency standards. Table 3 below
illustrates the number, type and dwelling size required to accommodate the Project
area households, based on current number of occupants.

SENIOR / HANDICAPPED HOUSEHOLDS
There are seven (7) households that reported having at least one senior person as part
of their household. Thirteen (13) households reported having at least one person with
disabilities including; mentally disabled, in a wheelchair, and other physical disabilities.
NON-RESIDENTIAL DATA AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
There are twenty-five (25) property owners that are considered landlord businesses
and may be eligible for certain business relocation benefits. They may qualify for a
moving payment if they are required to move personal property from the subject
properties, a site-search payment (not to exceed $2,500) for reimbursement of their
time in searching for a replacement property, and up to $10,000 as reimbursement for a
re-establishment payment.

IV. RELOCATION RESOURCES
The Agency's relocation consultants conducted on-site interviews and evaluated each
potentially impacted residential dwelling and business (landlords) in the Project area, to
assess the need and requirements for a replacement site. The information was the basis
of an extensive resource survey conducted over a period of four weeks during January
2007. To determine the availability of replacement housing and commercial replacement
sites, the following sources were utilized:
. Windshield/drive-by surveys conducted in San Bernardino and surrounding
communities
. Classified rental listings from local newspapers and For Rent publications
. Multiple-Listing Services
. Internet resources
. Property Management Offices
The subject dwellings are very similar four-plex properties. They are grouped together
as a community. Therefore the replacement housing survey looked at all types of
potential replacement dwellings, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, four-plexes,
duplexes and single family homes. The research encompassed dwellings for rent only.
Search efforts were generally contained within a 10-mile radius of the Project area.
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FOR RENT
Replacement housing research data indicates an adequate supply of rental properties
available to residential displacees. The survey identified a total of one hundred fifty-five
(155) available two, three, four plus bedroom rental units located within San Bernardino
or other similar localities nearby. Specific replacement housing data in and around the
City of San Bernardino is summarized in Table 5 below.
The information available on rental housing in the area is included as a general
representation of available sites. As with any resource survey, results reflect
conditions at a given point in time, and mayor may not be available at the time of
displacement.

(Monthly Basis)
Considering the availability of replacement housing resources gathered over a two
week period, it appears that there are adequate replacement resources available to
displaced residential occupants. While adequate replacement sites are available,
based on survey results, current rents paid by displaced occupants will likely increase.
Rent increases will be met through the Agency's obligation under the relocation
program, including Last Resort Housing requirements. (See Exhibit G.)
The Agency will assist each household in relocating into comparable replacement
housing. In accordance with State and Federal Guidelines, any replacement housing
approved by the Agency must meet decent, safe and sanitary housing
requirements. In order to meet these standards, a replacement site must contain the
following criteria:
. Be structurally sound; weather tight and in good repair.
. Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other devices.
. Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a reasonable temperature.
. Be adequate in size with respect to the number of rooms and area of living space
needed to accommodate the displaced household.
. Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open safe at ground level. If the dwelling
unit is on the second story or above, with access directly from or through a
common corridor, the common corridor must have at least two means of egress.
. For a person who is not mobile or impaired, be free of barriers which would
restrict reasonable ingress, egress, or use of the dwelling.
COMPETING PROJECTS
The City of San Bernardino was contacted regarding any other projects within the City
that would impact the available inventory for replacement sites including the
Development Services Department. Although there are several small projects within
Prepared by California Property Speciali.~ts. Inc.
17
the community it has been determined that they will not impact the replacement needs
of the potential project displacements because they are mostly commercial
displacements.. Thus, no adverse impact is anticipated with the proposed Arden
Guthrie Project.
SUMMARY
Comparing the available replacement resources to the project displacement needs, it
appears that there are adequate replacement sites available for all residential
occupants. Therefore, the relocation assistance needs for the Arden Guthrie Project
will not require any special consideration, other than Last Resort Housing for residential
occupants.
ALTERNATE HOUSING PROGRAMS
Section 8 housing vouchers are granted by the County of San Bernardino Housing
Authority when available to qualified low and moderate income families, seniors and
disabled persons to secure suitable and affordable housing. The Agency does not
have its own housing authority among its various departments, but its residents fall
under the jurisdiction of the housing authority. Currently the county housing authority
has exhausted its vouchers, and the program's waiting list has been on hold since June
1, 2004, and until further notice. Nonetheless, one of the functions of the relocation
program is to provide qualified displaced households rental assistance for the incurred
increase rent for a period of forty-two (42) or sixty (60) months depending on the
household's financial means, number of occupants and available replacement
properties. Therefore, the scope of assistance provided by the relocation program
through the Agency should meet the displacement needs.
TEMPORARY HOUSING NEEDS
The Agency does not foresee a need for temporary housing as a result of Project
acquisitions or relocation requirements. However, should such a need arise, the
Agency will respond appropriately and in conformance with applicable laws,
regulations, and guidelines.
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.

RELOCATION BENEFITS TO RESIDENTIAL OCCUPANTS
The Relocation Benefit Program will help eligible occupants by paying reasonable costs
and expenses to relocate to a replacement site in accordance with applicable relocation
guidelines. These costs are limited to those necessary for the rental or purchase of a
comparable replacement property and the moving costs of personal property. In the
course of personal interviews and follow-up visits. each displacee will be counseled as
to available options and the consequences of any choice with respect to financial
assistance. Moving costs and relocation benefits will be paid to eligible displacees
upon submission of required claim forms and documentation in accordance with the
CRAL. URA, CFR and the Agency's administrative procedures ("Regulations"). These
may include:
MOVING EXPENSE PAYMENTS
Any eligible displaced person who lawfully occupies the property being acquired,
regardless of the length of occupancy, will be eligible for reimbursement of moving
costs associated with property located at the displacement site. Displacees will receive
either a fixed moving payment based on a room count schedule or actual cost
associated with a professional move.
A. Fixed Moving Payment (Room Count Schedule)
The displacee, while taking the responsibility for the move, may elect to receive a fixed
moving payment for a self-move based on a room count of furnished rooms in the
displacement dwelling. The fixed moving payment is a one-time, allowance for a self-
move that does not require back-up documentation. The current schedule for fixed
moving payments is set forth in Table 6.
TABLE 6: Occupants-Unfurnished Rooms
Room Count Pavment
1 Room $625
2 Rooms $800
3 Rooms $1,000
4 Rooms $1,175
5 Rooms $1,425
6 Rooms $1,650
7 Rooms $1,900
8 Rooms $2,150
Each additional room $225
OccuDants-Furnished Rooms
1 Room not furnished $400
Each additional room $65
Prepared by California Property SpecioUs/so Inc.
21
B. Actual Cost (Professional Move)
The displacee may elect to retain the services of a licensed professional mover, in
which case the Agency will pay for the actual cost of the move within a 50-mile Project
radius, based on the lower of two acceptable moving bids. After the move is complete,
the displacee may pay the mover directly and seek reimbursement from the Agency or
request a direct payment to the mover.
RELOCATION BENEFITS TO OWNER-OCCUPANTS
Sometimes, an owner-occupant displaced from their dwelling may have to pay more to
purchase a comparable replacement dwelling than they received for the purchase price
of their existing dwelling. The increased cost may be due to a limited number of
available replacement housing in the area or the need to improve the quality of housing
to meet minimal acceptable housing standards. Under this scenario, the owner-
occupant will be eligible for a Replacement Housing Payment provided they have
owned and occupied their property for at least 180 days prior to the first written offer by
the Agency to purchase the property.
The Replacement Housing Payment of up to $22,500 will be determined on the basis of
three separate components:
. Purchase Price Differential
. Incidental Expenses (Closing Costs)
. Increased Mortgage Rate Payment Differential
PURCHASE PRICE DIFFERENTIAL
Once the fair market value of the dwelling being acquired by the Agency is determined,
an analysis of the existing housing market is made to determine the costs of a
comparable replacement dwelling. The difference between the price received for the
existing dwelling and the purchase price of a comparable replacement dwelling is
determined to be the Purchase Price Differential. For example, if the existing owner-
occupant's dwelling is valued at $400,000 and it is determined that a "comparable"
replacement dwelling is available for $410,000; the maximum Purchase Price
Differential payment would be $10,000. In order to receive the $10,000 Purchase Price
Differential payment, the owner-occupant must purchase and occupy a decent, safe
and sanitary dwelling costing at least $410,000. If the replacement dwelling costs less
than $410,000, the Purchase Price Differential payment would be reduced to reflect the
Prepared by California Properly Specialis/s. Inc.
22
actual difference between the cost of the dwelling being acquired by the displacee and
the price paid for the dwelling by the Agency. Since all of the properties being acquired
by the Agency consist of 4-unit buildings, a replacement housing payment will be based
on the occupancy unit square footage.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES (CLOSING COSTS)
As a part of the costs associated with the purchase of a replacement dwelling, certain
expenses are generally incurred. These include, but are not limited to: inspection fee,
appraisal fee, title and escrow fee, recording fee, loan processing fee, and cost for
credit report. These one-time fees associated with purchasing a replacement dwelling
are reimbursable to the owner by the Agency. These expenses must be typical and
reasonable, based on the market and as determined by the Agency. They must also be
actually incurred and documented on a Final Closing Statement supplied by the escrow
or title company. Recurring costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and association
dues are not eligible as reimbursable costs.
INCREASED MORTGAGE RATE DIFFERENTIAL PAYMENT
In some cases, an owner-occupant being displaced will find current market interest
rates or program costs exceed their existing program. The Regulations provides for a
payment to enable the displacee to reduce their replacement mortgage balance to the
level of the existing mortgage payment and remaining term, computed using the
replacement mortgage interest rate. This payment is meant to compensate
homeowners for the loss of favorable financing.
RELOCATION BENEFITS TO TENANT-OCCUPANTS
Residential tenants who have established their residency in the displacement dwelling
at least 90 days prior to the first written offer by the Agency, for the property
acquisition, may be eligible to receive a Rental Assistance Payment ("RAP"), in addition
to a payment for moving expenses. Payment to residential tenants are determined on
the basis of their current rent, their ability to pay, household occupants, market rent of a
comparable replacement dwelling and actual rent of the replacement unit plus any
estimated cost increase for utilities. Except in the case of "Last Resort Housing"
situations and, pursuant to the Regulations, any Rental Assistance Payment is limited
to a maximum of $5,250.

23
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE UNDER SECTION 104(d)
Under section 104(d) each "displaced person' is entitled to choose either assistance at
URA levels or the following assistance:
. Advisory services,
. Payment for moving and related expenses. The displaced person may choose
either:
1. A payment for actual reasonable moving and related expenses.
2. A moving expense and dislocation allowance based on a schedule. (see
table 6)
The reasonable and necessary cost of any security deposit required rent the
replacement dwelling unit, and any credit checks required to rent or purchase the
replacement dwelling unit.
Interim living costs. The person shall be reimbursed for actual reasonable out-of-
pocket costs incurred in connection with temporary relocation, including moving
expenses and increased housing costs, if:
. The person must relocated temporarily because continued occupancy of the
dwelling unit constitutes a substantial danger to the health or safety of the
person or the public, or
. The person is displaced from a "low/moderate-income dwelling unit," none of the
comparable replacement dwelling units to which the person has been referred
qualifies as a low/moderate-income dwelling unit and a suitable low/moderate-
income dwelling unit is scheduled to become available in accordance with 24
CFR 570.496( c )(1) or 570.606( c )(1). Note: A comparable replacement
dwelling unit may have a market rent that exceeds the Fair Market Rent under
the Section 8 Existing Housing Program (Le.. it is made affordable to the person
through rental assistance payments). If so, the unit does not meet the definition
of a "low/moderate-income dwelling unit."
Replacement housing assistance under section 104(d), the displaced person is eligible
to receive one of the following:
. Rental Assistance: Each person must be offered rental assistance equal to 60
times the amount obtained by subtracting the Total Tenant Payment from the
lesser of:
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.
24
I. The monthly Rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for
a comparable replacement dwelling; or
II. The monthly rent and estimated average monthly costs of utilities for
the decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling to which the
person relocates.
. All or a portion of this rental assistance may be offered (if it is available in
accordance with the Public Housing Authority HUD-approved tenant selection
preferences) through a certificate or housing voucher for rental assistance
provided through the Public Housing Agency (PHA) under Section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended. Generally, a Section 8 housing
voucher may be issued only to a very low-income person.
. Purchase Assistance
I. If the displaced person purchases and interest in a housing
cooperative or mutual housing association and occupies a decent, safe
and sanitary dwelling in the cooperative or association, the person may
elect to receive a lump sum payment. This lump sum payment shall be
equal to the capitalized value of 60 monthly installments of the amount
that is obtained by subtracting the "Total Tenant Payment," from the
monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for a
comparable replacement dwelling unit.
II. To compute the capitalized value, the installments shall be discounted
at the rate of interest paid on passbook savings deposits by a federally
insured bank or savings and loan institution conducting business in the
jurisdiction.
III. To the extent necessary to minimized hardship to the person, the
Agency shall subject to appropriate safeguards, issue a payment in
advance of the purchase of the interest in the housing cooperative or
mutual housing association.
. Total Tenant Payment. The Total Tenant Payment is the highest of:
I. 30 percent % of the persons' monthly adjusted income
II. 10 percent % of the person's monthly gross income
III. The designated allowance for. renUutility costs, if the person is
Prepared by California Properly Specialists. Inc. 25
receiving welfare assistance form a public agency and a part of such
assistance, adjusted in accordance with the person's actual housing
costs, is the specifically designated by the public agency to meet the
person's rent and utility costs.
Sample Calculation of Rental Assistance Payment
Select Lesser Of:
1. Old Rent 1$750 I Old Rent plus utilities

Rental Assistance Payment
6. Monthlv Need $100 Rent Factor minus Base Rent
Payment $4,200 Monthly Need multiplied by 42 months
Alternate Payment $6,000 If Displacee qualifies under 104(d) x 60 months
Tenants may choose and are encouraged by the Agency to use this payment towards a
down payment allowance when electing to purchase a replacement home. This
applicable rental differential payment may be applied towards the purchase of a
replacement dwelling and nonrecurring closing costs. Tenants who qualify for 60
months of assistance and who decide to purchase rather than rent will be reduced to
the URA standard of 42 months of assistance, which can be applied towards the
purchase of a replacement dwelling.
LAST RESORT HOUSING
The Regulations contain policies and procedures for implementing a Last Resort
Housing Program. This program is authorized by statute if affordable replacement
housing cannot be found within the basic statutory relocation amount of $5,250 for
tenants and $22,500 for owner occupants.
Based on the results of our survey, a majority of the households in the Project area will
qualify for Last Resort Housing. The following is the recommended course of action for
the Project displacees and a summary of their entitlements for replacement housing:
Prepared by California Properly Specialis/s. Inc.
26
o Provide additional rent supplements above the statutory amount of $5,250, with
payments being made toward the rent differential or down payment to purchase
a replacement site.
o If required, provide 180-day owner-occupants with additional funds above the
maximum $22,500 to purchase a comparable dwelling.
o Assistance beyond the 42 months to 60 months if household qualifies under the
104(d) program.
RELOCATION BENEFITS TO NON-OCCUPANT/OFF-SITE OWNERS (BUSINESS)
There are twenty-five (25) non-occupant owners of investment property potentially
affected by the Project's proposed acquisitions. These owners lease their space within
the Project boundaries to residents occupying the area. The Agency considers these
owners business displacements, and thus may be eligible to receive a payment for
moving personal property, site searching costs as follows:
o Site search cost not to exceed $2,500
o Reestablishment expenses not to exceed $10,000
Prepared by California Property Specialists. Inc.
27
VI. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
PROJECTED DATES OF DISPLACEMENT
No displacee will be required to vacate without a minimum of a gO-day written notice.
However, an occupant in the Project area may choose to vacate prior to the issuance of
a "gO-Day Notice to Vacate" once they receive their Notice of Eligibility and are assured
that they will receive relocation assistance. The Agency anticipates that Notices to
Vacate will be issued in March 2007.
ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The estimated relocation budget is based on the data obtained through occupant
interviews, current Project scope, available replacement sites, estimated relocation
costs, including last resort housing, and the experience and judgment of CPSI staff.
The estimated relocation budget does not include any payment for property
acquisitions, or professional fees necessary to implement the Relocation Assistance
Program.
THE ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS FOR THE PROJECT IS:
ESTIMATED TOTAL $2,000,000.00
The Agency pledges to appropriate, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to ensure
the successful completion of the Project, including funds necessary for Last Resort
Housing, as indicated in Section V., Part B of the Relocation Plan.
NOTICES
Any official notice that the Agency is required to provide a Project occupant shall be
personally delivered or sent by certified or registered first-class mail, return receipt
requested. Notices will be written in understandable language, and persons unable to
read or understand any notice will be provided translation and counseling. Each notice
will indicate the name, address and telephone number of a person who may be
contacted for answers to questions or other additional assistance.
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.
28
These are the four principal notices:
1. General Information Notice (See Exhibit E and F)
2. Relocation Brochure (See Exhibit G and H)
3. Notice of Relocation Eligibility
4. gO-Day Notice To Vacate
The General Information Notice and Relocation Brochure is intended to provide
potential displacees with a description of the Agency's relocation program, eligibility
criteria, information regarding potential financial assistance, and appeal rights.
The Notice of Relocation Eligibility will contain a determination of eligibility for
relocation assistance and a description or itemization of potential entitlement benefits.
No lawful occupant, affected by this Project, will be required to move without having
received at least gO days advance written notice of the earliest date by which the move
will be necessary. The gO-Day Notice will either state a specific date or state that the
occupant will receive a further notice indicating at least 60 days in advance, the specific
date required to move. A gO-Day Notice will not be issued to any residential displacee
without first being given information regarding an available replacement dwelling.
LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE (ASISTENCIA DE LENGUAJE)
Language assistance will be available for occupants who do not understand or speak
English. (Asistencia de lenguaje se hara disponible para personas que no hablen
ingles).
RELOCATION APPEAL PROCESS
A person, who disagrees with a determination as to the eligibility of benefits, a payment
amount, failure to provide comparable replacement site referrals, or the Agency's
property management practices, may file a request for a review and/or appeal in
accordance with The Redevelopment Agency of The City of San Bernardino Grievance
Procedures. Refer to Exhibit J (English) & K (Spanish) for written policy and
procedures.
Prepared by California Properly Specialis/s. Inc.
29
EVICTION POLICY
The Agency recognizes that eviction is advisable only as a last resort. Eviction will only
take place in cases of illegal occupancy, nonpayment of rent, serious violation of the
rental agreement, a dangerous or illegal act in the unit, or if the occupants refuse all
reasonable offers to alternate accommodations. In all cases, relocation records must be
documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding the eviction.
The Agency also pledges that an eviction will not be undertaken for the purposes of
evading their obligations to make available payments under their Relocation Assistance
Program or other assistance to which a person may otherwise be entitled.

General Questions
How Willi Know I Am Eligible For Relocation Assistance?
You should receive a written notice explaining your eligibility for relocation assistance.
You should not move before receiving that notice. If you do, you may not receive
relocation assistance.
How Will The Agency Know How Much Help I Need?
You will be contacted at an early date and personally interviewed by a representative of
the Agency to determine your relocation needs and preferences for replacement
housing and advisory services. The representative will ask certain questions about you
and other members of your household, including questions about your income. It is to
your advantage to provide the information so that the Agency can assist you in moving
with a minimum of hardship. The information you give will be kept in confidence.
How Soon Willi Have To Move?
If possible, a mutually agreeable date for the move will be worked out. You will be given
enough time to make plans for moving. Unless there is a health or safety emergency,
you will not be required to move without at least 90 days advance written notice of (1) at
least one "comparable replacement home" that is available to you and (2) the earliest
date by which you must move.
What Is A Comparable Replacement Home?
A comparable replacement home is:
. Decent, safe, and sanitary.
. Functionally equivalent to your present home.
. Actually available for you to rent.
. Affordable.
. Reasonably accessible to your place of employment.
. Generally as well located with respect to public and commercial facilities, such as
schools and shopping, as your present home.
. Not subject to unreasonable adverse environmental conditions.
. Available to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
What is Decent, Safe, and Sanitary Housing?
Decent, safe, and sanitary housing is housing that:
. Meets applicable housing and occupancy requirements.
. Is structurally sound, weathertight, and in good repair.
. Contains a safe, adequate electrical wiring system.
. Has adequate living space for the occupants.
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.
46
. Has a kitchen with a sink, hot and cold running water, and connections for a stove
and refrigerator (if you were displaced from a housekeeping unit).
. Has a separate, complete bathroom with hot and cold running water.
. Has heating as required by climatic conditions.
. Has an unobstructed exit to safe, open space at ground level.
. Meets standards protecting occupants from lead-based paint hazards.
. If you are person with a physical disability, is free of any barriers which would
preclude your reasonable use of the unit.
Will The Agency Help Me Find A Replacement Home?
Yes. You will be provided with referrals to housing that has been inspected to ensure
that it meets established standards. If possible, you will be referred to at least three
comparable replacement homes. The maximum financial assistance for which you may
qualify will be based on the cost of the most representative comparable replacement
home that is available to you. Promptly after you become eligible for relocation
assistance, the Agency's representative will inform you of such unit and the maximum
payment available.
Once the Agency's representative has a clear understanding of your needs and
preferences, he or she will work with you to assure that you are given the best possible
choice of housing. The Agency's representative will offer you appropriate transportation
to inspect these units, if necessary.
What If I Find My Own Replacement Housing?
You have every right to find your own replacement housing. However, before you rent
or buy, ask your representative to inspect the unit to make sure that it is decent, safe,
and sanitary. If the housing unit is not decent, safe, and sanitary, you will not receive a
replacement housing payment.
What If I Encounter A Problem In Obtaining Housing Of My Choice?
If you encounter a problem in buying or renting housing of your choice, notify the
Agency's representative immediately. The Agency's representative will look into the
matter and try to resolve it. You will receive this help whether you were referred to the
housing unit or found it yourself.
What Other Services Willi Receive?
In addition to help in obtaining a comparable replacement home, other assistance, as
necessary, will be provided in order to minimize the impact of your move. This
assistance may include referral to appropriate public and private agencies that provide
services concerning housing financing, employment, health, welfare, or legal
assistance. The range of services depends on the needs of the person being displaced.
You should ask the Agency's representative to tell you about the specific services that
will be available to help you and your family.
Prepared by California Property Specialists. Inc.
47
What Is a Payment For Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses?
You may choose to receive a relocation payment to cover the reasonable cost of your
move. If you choose a Payment for Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses,
you may include in your claim the reasonable and necessary costs for:
. Transportation for you and your family.
. Packing, moving and unpacking your household goods.
. Disconnecting and reconnecting household appliances and other personal property
(e.g., telephone and cable TV).
. Storage of household goods, as may be necessary.
. Insurance for the replacement value of your property during the move and necessary
storage (if necessary).
The Agency's representative will explain all eligible moving costs, as well as those which
are not eligible. You must be able to account for any costs that you incur, so keep all your
receipts. Select your mover with care. The Agency's representative can help you select
a reliable and reputable mover.
You may elect to pay your moving costs yourself and be repaid by the Agency or, if you
prefer, you may have the Agency pay the mover. In either case, let the Agency's
representative know before you move.
What Is A Fixed Moving Expense And Dislocation Allowance?
If you choose a Fixed Moving Expense and Dislocation Allowance, you will receive an
allowance which is based on the number of rooms in your home or the number of rooms
of furniture you will be moving, as shown on a schedule. The Agency's representative
has a copy of the schedule and will help you decide whether choosing this allowance is in
your best interest.
If you do not have a large amount of personal property to move, this payment should be
more advantageous. No special documentation is required to support your claim. You
need only move your personal property and complete the appropriate claim form in order
to receive your payment.
How Much Rental Assistance Willi Receive?
You may be eligible to receive Rental Assistance for a 42-month period. The assistance is
computed in the following manner:
The assistance needed for one month is determined by subtracting the "base monthly rent"
for your present home from the cost of rent and utilities for your new home (or a
comparable replacement home, if that cost is lower). That monthly need, if any, is
multiplied by 42, to determine the total amount that you will receive. This amount will be
paid directly to you. The Agency must provide the assistance in monthly installments or
other periodic payments. Generally, the base monthly rent for your present home is the
Prepared by California Property Specialists, Inc.
48
lesser of: (1) the monthly rent and average monthly cost for utilities, or (2) thirty (30)
percent of your average monthly gross household income, if you are low-income based on
HUD income limits.
To qualify for rental assistance, you must rent and occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary
home within one year after the date you move. However, the Agency will extend this
period for good cause.
If I Decide to Buy, Rather Than Rent, How Much Assistance Willi Receive?
If you buy a replacement home, you may be eligible for assistance to make a down
payment equal to the amount you would receive if you rented a comparable replacement
home. A down payment assistance payment will be paid in a lump sum.
Must I File A Claim To Obtain A Relocation Payment?
Yes. You must file a claim for each relocation payment. The Agency will, however, provide
you with the required claim form, help you to complete it, and explain the type of
documentation, if any, that you must submit in order to receive the payment.
If you must pay any relocation expenses before you move (e.g., a security deposit when you
sign a lease for your new home), discuss your financial needs with the Agency's
representative. While refundable deposits are not covered, you may be able to obtain an
advance payment to meet these costs. An advance payment may be placed in "escrow" or
paid directly to a contractor to ensure that the move will be completed on a timely basis.
You must file your claim within 18 months after the date you move. However, it is to your
advantage to file as soon as possible after you move. The sooner you submit your claim,
the sooner it can be processed and paid. If you are unable to file your claim within 18
months, ask the Agency to extend this period.
Be careful not to confuse this 18-month period with the 12-month period within which you
must rent (or buy) and occupy a replacement dwelling in order to be eligible for a
replacement housing payment.
You will be paid promptly after you file an acceptable claim. If there is any question
regarding your right to a relocation payment or the amount of the payment, you will be
notified, in writing, of the problem and the action you may take to resolve the matter.
Willi Have To Pay Rent To The Agency Before I Move?
If the Agency acquires the property in which you live, you may be required to pay a fair rent
to the Agency for the period between the acquisition of the property and the date that you
move. Such rent will not exceed the market rent for comparable properties in the area.
Prepared by California Property SpecioUs/so Inc.
49
Do I Have To Pay Federal Income Taxes On My Relocation Payments?
No. Section 216 of the URA states that you do not need to report relocation payments as
part of your gross income for Federal tax purposes. For information on State or local
income taxes, you should check with the State or local income tax office in your area or with
your personal tax advisor.
What If I Don't Receive The Required Assistance? Can J Appeal?
If you disagree with the Agency's decision as to your right to relocation assistance or the
amount of a payment, or the adequacy of the housing to which you have been referred, you
may appeal the decision to the Agency.
The Agency's representative will inform you of its appeal procedures. At a minimum, you
will have 60 days to file your appeal with the Agency after you receive written notification of

usted y a su familia.

Usted puede optar por recibir un pago de reubicacion para cubrir el costo razonable de
su mudanza. Si usted escoge un Pago para Gastos de Mudanza y Relacionados

ser mas ventajoso. No se requiere ninguna documentacion especial para justificar su
reclamacion. Lo unico que tiene que hacer es mudar sus bienes personales y completar
el formulario de reclamacion apropiado a fin de recibir su pago.
l.Cuimta Asistencia de Alquiler recibire?
Es posible que pueda ser elegible para recibir Asistencia de Alquiler por un periodo de
42 meses. La asistencia se calcula de la siguiente manera:
La asistencia necesaria para un mes se determina restando el "alquiler mensual base"
de su vivienda actual al costo del alquiler y 105 servicios publicos para su vivienda
nueva (0 una vivienda comparable de reemplazo, en caso de que ese costo sea mas
bajo). Esa necesidad mensual, si la hubiere, es multiplicada por 42, para determinar la
cantidad total que usted recibira. Esta canlidad se Ie pagara directamente a usted. La
Agencia debe proporcionar la asistencia en pagos mensuales u otros pagos periodicos.
Por 10 general, el alquiler mensual base para su vivienda actual es la cantidad que
resulte menor entre: (1) el alquiler mensual y el costo mensual promedio de 105
servicios publicos 0 (2) el treinta (30) par ciento de sus ingresos familiares brutos
mensuales promedio, si usted es una persona de bajos recursos basado en 105 Iimites
de ingresos de HUD.
Para reunir 105 requisitos para la asistencia de alquiler, usted debe alquilar y ocupar
una vivienda decente, segura y sanitaria dentro de un ano despues de la fecha en que
se mude. Sin embargo, la Agencia extendera este periodo por buena causa.
51 decido comprar, en vez de alquilar, l.cuanta asistencia recibire?
Si usted compra una vivienda de reemplazo, podra ser elegible para asistencia para
hacer un pago inicial equivalente a la cantidad que usted recibiria si alquilara una
vivienda comparable de reemplazo (0 sea, 42 multiplicado por la cantidad obtenida si
se resta el "alquiler mensual base" para su vivienda al alquiler mensual y 105 costas de
servicios publicos mensuales promedio estimados para una vivienda comparable de
reemplazo). Un pago de asistencia para el pago inicial se hara en una suma global.
Ejemplo: Suponiendo la informacion en 105 ejemplos previos, la asistencia de pago
para el pago inicial seria de $5,880. Esa canlidad es 42 multiplicado por $140 (Ia
diferencia entre el "alquiler mensual base" de su vivienda actual ($210) y el alquiler
mensual y el costa de 105 servicios publicos mensuales promedio estimados para una
vivienda comparable de reemplazo ($350). La. cantidad completa del pago debe
aplicarse a la compra de la vivienda de reemplazo.
l.Debo someter una reclamacion para obtener un pago de reubicacion?
Si. Usted debe registrar una reclamacion para cada pago de reubicacion. Sin embargo,
la Agencia Ie suministrara el formulario de reclamacion necesario, Ie ayudara a
completarlo y Ie explicara el tipo de documentacion, si la hubiere, que usted debe
remitir a fin de recibir el pago.
En caso de que sea necesario pagar cualquier gasto de reubicacion antes de que se
mude (por ej., un deposito de garantia cuando firma el contrato de arrendamiento para
su vivienda nueva), hable con la Agencia acerca de sus necesidades economicas. Los

56
depositos refundables no estan cubiertos por la URA, de todas formas es posible puede
obtener un pago adelantado para cubrir estos costos. Un pago por adelantado puede
colocarse en "plica" 0 pagarsele directamente a un contratista para asegurar que la
mudanza se complete oportunamente.
Usted debe someter su reclamacion dentro de 18 meses despues de la fecha en que
se muda. Sin embargo, Ie conviene someterla tan pronto como sea po sible despues de
que se mude. Cuanto mas temprano remite su reclamacion, mas temprano podra
tramitarse y pagarse. Si no puede someter su reclamacion dentro de 18 meses, pidale
a la Agencia que prorrogue este plazo.
Tenga cuidado de no confundir este periodo de 18 meses con el periodo de 12 meses
dentro del cual usted debe alquilar (0 comprar) y ocupar una vivienda de reemplazo a
fin de ser elegible para un pago por vivienda de reemplazo.
A usted se Ie pagara sin demora alguna despues de que registre una reclamacion
aceptable. Si hay cualquier pregunta acerca de su derecho a un pago por reubicacion 0
la cantidad del pago, se Ie notificara por escritodel problema y la accion que usted
puede tomar para resolver el asunto.
"Tendre que pagarle renta a la Agencia antes de que me mude?
Si la Agencia adquiere la propiedad en la cual usted vive, es posible que se Ie exija que
pague una renta justa a la Agencia para el periodo entre la adquisicion de la propiedad
y la fecha en la que usted se muda. Tal renta no excedera la renta en el mercado para
propiedades comparables en el area.
"Tengo que pagar impuestos federales sobre 105 ingresos con respecto a mis
pagos de reubicacion?
No. La Seccion 216 de la Ley de Reubicacion Uniforme dice que no es necesario que
usted declare 105 pagos por reubicacion como parte de sus ingresos brutos para fines
de 105 impuestos federales. Para informacion acerca de 105 impuestos sobre 105
ingresos estatales 0 locales, se recomienda que consulte con la oficina de impuestos
sobre 105 ingresos estatal 0 local en su area 0 con su asesor personal en impuestos.
"Que pasa si no recibo la asistencia necesaria? "Puedo apelar?
Si no esta de acuerdo con la decision que toma la Agencia en cuanto a su derecho a la
asistencia de reubicacion 0 la cantidad de un pago 0 en cuanto a si la vivienda que se
Ie ha recomendado es adecuada, usted puede apelar la decision a la Agencia.
La Agencia Ie informara acerca de sus procedimientos de apelaci6n. Como minimo,
usted tendra 60 dias para someter su apelaci6n con la Agencia despues de que usted
