Rehabilitation shall be conducted without relocation of the affected occupants to the greatest extent feasible. Should relocation be necessary, a comparable, decent, safe and sanitary dwelling must be located. Such relocation shall be accomplished at the minimum feasible cost. Of the two moves involved, (out of and back into the rehabilitated structure) the relocatee may choose a Fixed Payment for Moving Expenses or an Actual Payment as described in the Uniform Act regulations. Temporary relocation payments will be limited to cover only those expenses that would not otherwise be normal to the relocatee. That is to say, expenses that are directly related to the temporary relocation and which are above and beyond the normal expenses incurred by the relocatee. These would include, but not be limited to reasonable expenses for lodging and basic utilities for the period of dislocation, and costs for temporary storage of household belongings. This would not include reimbursement for expenses that would otherwise be incurred (meals, normal travel, phone bills, etc.). Relocatees are required to submit receipts to the Community Development Department staff documenting the expenses for which they are requesting reimbursement. Staff has the right to determine if the receipts submitted are eligible expenses.
