HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
City of Long Beach
California
RECOMMENDATION:
Economic Development Department
411 West Ocean Boulevard, 10th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802 (562) 570-6099
C-5
Approve the Relocation Plan for 5950 Long Beach Boulevard (Assessor Parcel Number 7307-017-002). (District 8)
DISCUSSION
On September 13, 2022, the City Council authorized the acquisition of 5950 Long Beach Boulevard, Assessor Parcel Number 7307-017-002 (Subject Property), for conversion into interim housing options for people experiencing homelessness (Attachment A). The Subject Property is approximately 69,126 square feet with only 54,536 net usable square feet of the land area due to an onsite storm drain basin. The Property, formerly known as the Luxury Inn Hotel, is improved with three buildings and 78 units in total.
Under California law, a Relocation Plan must be prepared and approved by the City Council, demonstrating the needs and characteristics of the displaced population, the available relocation resources, and the City's program to provide assistance to each affected displaced party, including monetary compensation for moving and related expenses and for replacement housing (Attachment B). The establishment of interim housing at the Subject Property requires the relocation of three residential households. The City's relocation consultant, Overland, Pacific and Cutler, Inc., is working diligently with each of the three households to find suitabl~ accommodations. It is anticipated that the relocations will be successfully completed within the next 90 days.
In accordance with Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, the Relocation Plan must be available for public review and comment for at least 30 days prior to consideration by the City Council for approval. On October 4, 2022, a notification letter was sent to all onsite occupants and the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) indicating the Relocation Plan was available for public review. No comments were received from the occupants during the 30-day review period, which ended on November 3, 2022.
Comments were received from HCD and are included in the Relocation Plan. Approval of the Relocation Plan will complete the City's acquisition process.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard F. Anthony on January 27, 2023 and by Budget Operations and Development Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on January 30, 2023.
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
February 14, 2023
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on February 14, 2023, to ensure that relocation activities can occur in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for this recommendation will not exceed $205,000. The cost of relocation payments to three (3) households to be relocated will not exceed $195,000, with the cost ranging from $60,000 to $65,000 per person to be relocated. The implementation and processing of the Relocation Plan performed by the City's relocation consultant, Overland, Pacific, and Cutler, Inc., will not exceed $10,000. On February 7, 2023, the City Council will consider an appropriation increase in the General Fund Group in the Economic Development Department by $367,195 for acquisition-related costs, and therefore if approved, sufficient funds will be budgeted for the relocation costs.

INTRODUCTION
T
he City of Long Beach (“City”) is in the process of acquiring the Luxury Inn Hotel located at 5950 Long Beach, Blvd. (“Project site”). The Project site will be used as an interim housing site, providing temporary housing for people experiencing homelessness.
T
he 78 units will be offered to tenants with incomes at 30% or less area median income (AMI) as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The proposed project is in conformance with the local housing element.
C
oronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) allocated to the State of California and awarded to local jurisdictions for the Homekey Program are being used to acquire the site. State General Funds are bein g used to fund operating subsidies. The City will procure a service provider for the Project site.
T
he City has retained Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPC) to prepare a Relocation Plan to address existing tenant displacements. This Plan conforms to the requirements of the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA), as amended, Handbook 1378 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the implementing regulations at 24 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 42, California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq. (Law), and the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development as in Title 25, California Code of Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (Guidelines).
A
s of the date of this Plan, the Project would cause the permanent displacement of three residential households that would be eligible for relocation assistance. The needs and characteristics of the permanent displacees and the City’s program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan).
T
his Plan is organized in five sections:
1. P
roject description (SECTION I).
2. Assessment of the relocation needs of persons subject to displacement (SECTION II).
3. Assessment of available replacement housing units within proximity to the Project site (SECTION III).
4. D
escription of the City’s relocation program (SECTION IV).
5. Description of the C ity’s outreach efforts, Project timeline, and budget (SECTION V).

II. ASSESSMENT OF RELOCATION NEEDS
A. SURVEY METHOD
To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, personal interviews with the households to be displaced were conducted by OPC staff in September 2022. OPC was successful in interviewing all three households. The data in this section of the Plan are based on the responses of those individuals, who provided verbal information about the households.
Inquiries made of the residential occupants concerned household size and composition, income, monthly rent and estimated utility costs, length of occupancy, ethnicity, home language, physical disabilities, legal presence status, relocation needs, and replacement housing preferences.
B. TENANT DATA
1. Current Occupants
T
here are currently three households living in the hotel to be permanently relocate d for the Project that will be eligible for relocation assistance and are the subjects of this Plan. There are five adults and three children (17 years or younger) on- site for a total known project occupancy of eight persons.
2. Replacement Housing Needs
Replacement housing needs, as expressed in this plan, are defined by the total number of required replacement units and distribution of those units by bedroom size. The projected number of required units by bedroom size is calculated by comparing current data for household size with the City’s replacement housing occupancy standards. These standards, generally, allow for up to two persons in a room/studio unit, three persons in a one -bedroom unit, five persons in a two- bedroom unit, seven persons in a three-bedroom unit and nine or more persons in a four-bedroom unit.
Wh
en determining the comparable size of the replacement unit under the State relocation programs, the number of all household members is taken into consideration regardless of legal presence status.
Under the URA, when determining the size of the replacement unit needed, only the legally present members of the household are considered based on the occupancy standard above. All households will have a choice of relocations programs, including the State program, under which to submit claims for assistance and under which the size of the comparable replacement unit will be determined.
B
ased on available tenant data, there are no overcrowded units. While the households occupy a room within the hotel, a suitable replacement unit would be a studio apartment , one bedroom or two bedroom apartment. The reasons for this ar e the household has its own private unit and does not have to share a house or other amenities as is typical in a “room for rent”. Furthermore, while the room does not have a kitchen, it does provide a nook with a microwave and refrigerator that would
EXHIBIT B
7 Version 2
not typically be available in a room for rent situation. Therefore, the replacement units required for the current population would include studio apartment units and/or one-bedroom apartment units.
3. Income
Verbal information regarding gross household income was provided by both households to be displaced. According to income standards for Los Angeles City (Exhibit A) adjusted for family size as published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the households qualify as follows: both households qualify as Low Income (51% - 80% of AMI).
4. Ethnicity/Language
Two households stated “Hispanic” as their ethnicity, one household stated, “African American”. All of the tenants speak, read, and understand English.
5. Senior/Handicapped Households
Neither household has a senior head of household or spouse (62 years or older), and neither household reported having a member with a disability.
If specific special needs are identified when the project occupants are ultimately displaced, appropriate steps will be taken to accommodate those needs and to locate or modify suitable replacement housing.
6. Preferred Area to Relocate
All households expressed a preference to stay in the Long Beach area t o find new employment opportunities.
III. RELOCATION RESOURCES
A. METHODOLOGY
F
or residential housing, a resource survey was conducted to identify available rental units initially beginning within a two-mile radius from the Project site. The following sources were utilized:
-- C
lassified rental listings from local newspapers and For Rent publications -- Internet sources of rental opportunities
B. REPLACEMENT HOUSING AVAILABILITY
1. Residential Rental Housing
EXHIBIT B
8 Version 2
The replacement housing survey considered available studio and one and two bedroom apartment units for rent in Long Beach and in proximity to the Project site within five miles. This data as of the date of this Plan is summarized in Table 3 below.
Table 3: Availability and Cost of Replacement Rental Housing # of Bedrooms Studio One Two
# Found (# Needed) 20+ (1) 20+ (1) 20+(1)
Rent Range $1,300 - $1,875 $1,600 - $2,495 $1,994 -$2675 Median Rent $1,622 $1,911 $2,334
The median rent amount shown in the table is among the figures used to make benefit and budget projections for the Plan. This amount is, naturally, subject to change according to the market rates prevailing at the time of displacement.
2. Summary
Considering the above-described availability of replacement housing resources gathered, it appears there are an adequate number of replacement units for the residential occupants. The replacements units available for rent are all centrally located and near employment sources, medical an d recreational facilities, parks, Community centers, shopping, transportation, and schools.
While adequate replacement resources exist for the tenants, based on survey results of rental opportunities and the tenants’ current rent, some tenants may have an increase in monthly rent.
Possible increases, if any, will be met through the City’s obligation under the relocation regulations, including Last Resort Housing (LRH) requirements. (See Section IV, E).
C. RELATED ISSUES
1. Concurrent Residential Displacement
There are no known public projects anticipated in the Project area that will cause significant displacements during the timeframe of anticipated initiation of Project displacements. No residential displacee will be required to move without both adequate notice and access to available, comparable, affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing.
IV. THE RELOCATION PROGRAM
The City’s Relocation Program is designed to minimize hardship, be responsive to unique Project circumstances, emphasize maintaining personal contact with all affected individuals, consistently apply all regulatory criteria to formulate eligibility and benefit determinations and conform to all applicable requirements. The relocation program to be implemented by the City will conform with the standards and
EXHIBIT B
9 Version 2
provisions of the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA), as amended, HUD Handbook 1378, the California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq. (Law), and the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development and Title 25, California Code of Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (Guidelines).
The City has retained OPC, a multi- lingual consulting firm, to administer the Relocation Program for the permanent displacees. OPC has worked on more than 5,000 public acquisition and relocation projects over the past 40 years. Experienced City staff will monitor the performance of OPC and be responsible to approve or disapprove OPC recommendations concerning eligibility and benefit determinations per applicable program requirements.
OPC staff will be available to assist any relocated person and/or household with questions about the relocation process, relocation counseling and/or assistance in relocating. Relocation staff can be contacted at (562) 304-2000 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and are available via voicemail and/or cellular phones after hours. The Relocation Office is located at 5000 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite 250, Long Beach, CA 90815.
Eligible individuals, who need to permanently move from their existing home, will receive relocation assistance. The relocation program consists of two principal constituents: advisory assistance and financial assistance (Relocation Benefits).
A. ADVISORY ASSISTANCE
A
dvisory assistance services are intended to:
• in
form displacees about the relocation program
• h
elp in the process of finding appropriate replacement accommodations • f
acilitate claims processing
• ma
intain a communication link with the City
• c
oordinate the involvement of outside service providers t o follow through on the advisory assistance component of the relocation program and assure that the City meets its obligations under the law, relocation staff will perform the following functions:
1. Distribute appropriate written information concerning the City’s relocation program.
2. In
form eligible project occupants of the nature of, and procedures for, obtaining available relocation assistance and benefits (Exhibit B).
3. D
etermine the needs of each displacee eligible for assistance.
EXHIBIT B
10 Version 2
4. Provide the residential displacees with at least three referrals to comparable replacement housing within a reasonable time prior to displacement. Generally, a comparable replacement dwelling must satisfy the following criteria:
(a) The unit is decent, safe and sanitary - electrical, plumbing, and heating systems are in good repair - no major, observable hazards or defects. The unit is adequate in size and is comparable to the acquired dwelling with respect to number of rooms, habitable living space and type and quality of construction, but not lesser in rooms or living space as necessary to accommodate the displaced person. The unit is functionally equivalent, including principle features.
(b) The unit is located in an area not subjected to unreasonable adv erse environmental conditions from either natural, or man- made sources, and not generally less desirable with respect to public utilities, transportation, public and commercial facilities, including schools and municipal services and reasonably accessible to the displaced person’s place of employment.
(c) The unit is available both on the private market and to all persons regardless of race, color, sex, marital status, religion or national origin.
(d) The monthly rental rate is within the financial means of the displaced residential tenant.
5. Maintain an updated database of available housing resources and distribute referral information to displacees for the duration of the Project.
6. Provide transportation to the residential displacee, if necessary, to inspect replacement sites within the local area.
7. Inspect replacement housing to assure it meets decent, safe and sanitary standards as described in the URA and per City standards and requirements.
8. Supply information concerning federal and state programs and other governmental programs providing assistance to displaced persons.
9. Assist eligible occupants in the preparation, and submission, of relocation assistance claims.
10. Provide additional reasonable services necessary to successfully relocate occupants.
11. Make benefit determinations and payments in accordance with applicable relocation law and the City’s adopted relocation guidelines.
12. Assure that no occupant is required to move without a minimum of 90 days written notice to vacate.
13. Inform all persons subject to displacement of the City’s policies with regard to eviction and property management.
EXHIBIT B
11 Version 2
14. E
stablish and maintain a formal grievance procedure for use by displaced persons seeking administrative review of the City’s decisions with respect to relocation assistance, and
15. P
rovide assistance that does not result in different or separate treatment based on or due to an individual’s sex, marital status, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, physical handicap, sexual orientation, and domestic partnership status.
B. RELOCATION BENEFITS
Specific eligibility requirements and benefit plans will be detailed on an individual basis with all displacees. In the course of a personal interview and follow-up visits, each displacee will be counseled as to available options and the consequences of any choice with respect to financial assistance.
Relocation benefits will be provided in accordance with the provisions of the URA, State Relocation Law and Guidelines, and City rules, regulations and procedures pertaining thereto. Benefits will be paid to eligible displaced persons upon submission of required claim forms and documentation in accordance with the City’s normal administrative procedures.
The City will process advance payment requests to mitigate hardships for tenants who do not have access to sufficient funds to pay move- in costs such as first month’s rent and/or security deposits.
Approved requests will be processed expeditiously to help avoid the loss of desirable, appropriate replacement housing.
Tenants who are permanently displaced will be eligible for the following assistance:
1. Residential Moving Expense Payments
All eligible residential occupants to be permanently relocated will be eligible to receive a payment for moving expenses. Moving expense payments will be made based upon the actual cost of a professional move or a fixed payment based on a room-count schedule. a. Actual Cost (Professional Move)
Displacees may elect to have a licensed professional mover perform t he move. The actual cost of the moving services, based on at least two acceptable bids, will be compensated by the City in the form of a direct payment to the moving company upon presentation of an invoice.
Transportation costs are limited to a distance of 50 miles in either case. In addition to the actual move, costs associated with utility re -connections (i.e., gas, water, electricity, telephone, and cable, if any), are eligible for reimbursement.
EXHIBIT B
12 Version 2
b. Fixed Payment (based on Room Count Schedule)
An occupant may elect to receive a fixed payment for moving expenses which is based on the number of rooms occupied in the displacement dwelling or ancillary structures on the property.
In this case, the person to be relocated takes full responsibility for the move. The fixed payment includes all utility connections as described in (a), above.
The current schedule for fixed moving payments is set forth in Table 4 fol lowing:
TABLE 4: Schedule of Fixed Moving Payments (effective as of 2015) Unfurnished Dwelling
One room $725
Two rooms $930
Three rooms $1,165
Four rooms $1,375
Five rooms $1,665
Six rooms $1,925
Seven rooms $2,215
Eight rooms $2,505
each additional room $265
Furnished Dwelling
First Room $475
Each additional room $90
2. Rental Assistance for Tenant Occupants Who Choose to Rent To be eligible to receive the rental assistance benefits, the displaced tenant household has to rent or purchase and occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling within one year from the date they move from the displacement dwelling.
Except in the case of Last Resort Housing situations (Section E, Page 15), payments to households will be payable over a 42-month period and limited to a total maximum payment of $7,200 as stated under URA guidelines. (More information regarding rental assistance and Last Resort Housing will be provided in detail in the informational brochure (Exhibit B ) that will be provided to each household at the initiation of relocation activities.)
T
able 5 on the following page portrays an example of a benefits determination under the URA and State relocation programs:
EXHIBIT B
13 Version 2
TABLE 5: Example Computation of URA/State Rental Assistance Payments
1. Old Rent $650 Old Rent and Utilities
or
2. Ability to Pay $700 30% of the Gross Household Income (for Low Income Households under the URA)
3. Lesser of lines 1 or 2 $650 Base Monthly Rental
Subtracted From:
4. Actual New Rent $750 Actual New Rent and Utilities
or
5. Comparable Rent $775 Determined by City (includes utilities)
6. Lesser of lines 4 or 5 $750
7. Yields Monthly Need: $100 Subtract line 3 from line 6 Rental Assistance $4,200 Multiply line 7 by 42 months
Rental Assistance payment amounts are equal to 42 times the difference between the base monthly rent and the lesser of:
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 cost of utilities for the decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling actually occupied by the displaced person.
The base monthly rent for the displacement dwelling is the lesser of:
(i) The average monthly cost for rent and utilities at the displacement dwelling for a reasonable period prior to displacement, as determined by the City; or (ii
) Thirty percent (30%) of the displaced person’s average, monthly gross household income if the amount is classified as “low income” by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Annual Survey of Income Limits for the Public Housing and Section 8 Programs under the URA. ( HUD’s Survey is shown as Exhibit A.) If a displacee refuses to provide appropriate evidence of income or is a dependent, the base monthly rent shall be determined to be the average monthly cost for rent and utilities at the displacement dwelling; or
EXHIBIT B
14 Version 2
(iii) The total of the amount designated for shelter and utilities if receiving a welfare assistance payment from a program that designated the amounts for shelter and utilities.
3. Downpayment Assistance to Tenants Who Choose to Purchase The displaced household may opt to apply the entire benefit amount for which they are eligible toward the purchase of a replacement unit (Guidelines 49 CFR 24.402(b) and HUD 1378).
Residential tenants, who are otherwise eligible to receive the Rental Assistance Payment described above, may choose to receive a lump sum payment equal to 42 months of rental subsidy (including Last Resort Housing benefits) to purchase a new home.
A displaced household, who chooses to utilize up to the full amount of their rental assistance eligibility (including any Last Resort benefits) to purchase a home, will have the funds deposited in an open escrow account, provided that the entire amount is used for the downpayment and eligible, incidental costs associated with the purchase of a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement home. A provision shall be made in the escrow arrangements for the prompt return of the City’s funds, in the event escrow should fail to close within a reasonable period of time.
Final determination about the type of relocation benefits and assistance for which the household is eligible will be determined upon verification of the household’s occupants, length of occupancy and income.
C. PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS
Adequate funds are available to relocate all displaced households. Relocation assistance services will be provided to ensure that displacement does not result in different or separate treatment of households based on race, nationality, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status, disability or any other basis protected by the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the California Fair Employment & Housing Act, and the Unruh Act, as well as any other arbitrary or unlawful discrimination.
EXHIBIT B
15 Version 2
D. GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE PAYMENT OF
RELOCATION BENEFITS
Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the City no later than 18 months after the date of displacement. The procedure for the preparation and filing of claims and the processing and delivery of payments will be as follows:
1. Claimant(s) will provide all necessary documentation to substantiate eligibility for assistance;
2. Relocation and City staff will review all necessary documentation including, but not limited to, scopes-of-service, invoices, lease documents and escrow material before reaching a determination as to which expenses are eligible for compensation;
3. Required claim forms will be prepared by relocation staff and presented to the claimant for review. Signed claims and supporting documentation will be returned to relocation staff and submitted to the City;
4. The City will review and approve claims for payment, or request additional information;
5. The City will issue benefit checks to claimants in the most secure, expeditious manner possible;
6. Final payments to reside ntial displacees will be issued after confirmation that the Project premises have been completely vacated, and actual residency at the replacement unit is verified;
7. Receipts of payment and all claims materials will be maintained in the relocation case file.
E. LAST RESORT HOUSING
Based on housing cost and income data derived from the occupants and costs of replacement housing resources, it is anticipated that “comparable replacement housing” will be available as required for the households. However, specifically, for renters, when the computed replacement housing assistance eligibility exceeds $7,200 or replacement dwelling monthly rental costs (including utilities and other reasonable recurring expenses) exceeds 30% of the person’s average m onthly income, Last Resort Housing must be provided.
Therefore, if the Project is to go forward, the City will authorize funds to provide housing of last resort, if required. In this situation, funds will be used to make payments in excess of the monetary limit specified in the statute ($7,200); hence, satisfying the requirement that “comparable replacement housing” is available.
A displaced tenant household will be entitled to consideration for supplementary benefits in the form of Last Resort Housing assistance when the computed replacement housing assistance eligibility exceeds $7,200 or replacement dwelling monthly rental costs (including utilities and other reasonable recurring expenses) exceed 30% of the person’s average monthly income (finan cial means) or when a tenant fails to meet the 90 -day occupancy requirement and comparable replacement rental housing is not available within the displaced person’s financial means. Calculations of Last Resort rental assistance
EXHIBIT B
16 Version 2
benefits for tenants who fai l to meet the 90 -day occupancy requirement will be based solely on household income. Non-90-day qualifiers must meet basic eligibility requirements applied to all other displacees.
R
ecipients of Last Resort rental assistance, who intend to purchase rather than re -rent replacement housing, will have the right to request a lump sum payment of all benefits in the form of downpayment assistance. Tenant households receiving periodic payments will have the option to request a lump sum payment of remaining benefits to assist with the purchase of a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling.
F. IMMIGRATION STATUS
Federal legislation (PL105-117) prohibits the payment of relocation assistance benefits under the URA to any alien not lawfully present in the United States unless such ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien’s spouse, parent, or child any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent residence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family unit, and any other impact determined by the City to negatively affect the alien’s spouse, parent or child.
In order to track and account for relocation assis tance and benefit payments, relocation staff will be required to seek immigration status information from each displacee 18 years and older by having them self-certify as to their legal status.
There is no legal presence requirement in order to be eligibl e for relocation assistance under the State Relocation Program, and all eligible Project occupants will be offered assistance under the State program regardless of immigration status.
G. RELOCATION TAX CONSEQUENCES
In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of Division 2 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which has been redesignated as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Title 26, U. S. Code), or for the purpose of determining the eligibility or the extent of eligibilit y of any person for assistance under the Social Security Act (42 U. S. Code 301 et seq.) or the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or the Bank and Corporation Tax Law, Part II (commencing with Section 23001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The above statement on tax consequences is not intended as tax advice by the City or OPC. Displacees are responsible for consulting with their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of relocation payments.
EXHIBIT B

V. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
A. NOTICES
Each notice, which the City is required to provide to a Project site occupant, shall be personally delivered or sent by certified or registered first- class mail, return receipt requested or email with confirmation and documented in the case file. Each notice will be written in plain, understandable language. Each notice will indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions or other needed help.
There are four principal notices:
1) the General Information Notice,
2) the Information al Statement
3) the Notice of Relocation Eligibility, and
4) the Vacate Notice.
The General Information Notice (GIN) is intended to provide potential relocatees with a general written description of the City’s relocation program and basic information concerning benefits, conditions of eligibility, noticing requirements and appeal rights (Exhibit C ). A GIN was personally issued to the Project tenants on September 12, 2022.
The Informational Statement is intended to provide potential relocatees with a general written description of the City’s relocation program and basic information concerning benefits, conditions of eligibility, noticing requirements and appeal rights (Exhibit B ). This notice was personally issued to the Project tenants on September 12, 2022
A Notice of Relocation Eligibility (NOE) was distributed to each displaced household on December 9, 2022 ( Exhibit D). The NOE to the residential displacee contains a determination of eligibility for relocation assistance under specific relocation programs and a computation of maximum entitlements based on information provided by the affected household and the analysis of comparable replacement properties identified by relocation staff.
No lawful occupant will be required to move without having received at least 90 days advance written notice of the earliest date by which the move will be necessary ( Exhibit E). The 90-day vacate notice will either state a specific date as the earliest date by which the occupant may be required to move or state that the occupant will receive a further notice indicating, at least 60 days in advance, the specific date of the required move. The 90 -day notice will not be issued to any reside ntial displacee before a comparable replacement dwelling has been made available.
In addition to the four principal notices, relocation staff will issue timely written notification in the form of a Reminder Notice, which discusses the possible loss of rig hts and sets the expiration date for the loss of benefits to those persons who:
1) are eligible for monetary benefits,
2) have moved from the acquired property, and
3) have not filed a claim for benefits.
EXHIBIT B
18 Version 2
A Reminder Notice will be issued to all non- responsive relocatees no later than within the last six months prior to the filing expiration date.
B. PRIVACY OF RECORDS
All information obtained from displacees is considered confidential and will not be shared without the consent of the displacee or the City. City and relocation staff will comply with federal regulations concerning the safeguarding of relocation files and their contents.
C. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
A person who is dissatisfied with a determination as to eligibility for benefits, a payment amount, the failure to provide comparable housing, or the City’s property management practices may file a Relocation Assistance Appeal Form or any other written form of appeal with the City and have the right of administrative review. The City’s appeal policies will follow the standards described in Article 5, Section 6150 et seq., Title 25, Chapter 6, State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development Program guidelines.
Requests for administrative review and informal hearings will be directed to the City’s Manager, Homeless Initiative. All requests for review will receive written responses from the City within three weeks of their receipt. If an informal appeal is denied, appellants will be entitled to file a written request for a formal hearing before an impartial and independent hearing officer.
The appellant does not have to exhaust administrative remedies first; the appeal/grievance can either go directly to HCD or directly to the Court. Any person and/or organization directl y affected by the relocation plan may petition the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), located at 2020 West El Camino Ave., Sacramento, CA 95833 to review the relocation plan.
More detail concerning the appeals process will be provided upon request. Appellants will retain their appeal rights for up to 18 months following the date of displacement from the Project premises or receipt of final payment for relocation benefits, whichever is later.
D. EVICTION POLICY
1. E
viction may cause the forfeiture of a displacee’s right to relocation assistance or benefits.
Relocation records will be documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding any eviction action.
2. E
viction may be undertaken for one, or more of the following reasons:
(
a) Failure to pay rent, except in those cases where the failure to pay is due to the City’s failure to keep the premises in habitable condition; is the result of harassment or retaliatory action; or, is the result of discontinuation, or a substantial interruption of services;
EXHIBIT B
19 Version 2
(b) Performance of a dangerous, and/or illegal act in the unit; (c) A material breach of the rental agreement, and failure upon notification to correct said breach within 30 days of Notice.
(d) Maintenance of a nuisance, and failure to abate such nuisance upon notification within a reasonable time following Notice.
(e) Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement dwellings; and/or, (f) A requirement under State, or local law or emergency circumstances that cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the part of the City.
E. RESIDENT/CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
As the process for considering the Project moves forward, the City will observe the following protocol:
1. Provide affected tenants with full and timely access to documents relevant to the relocation program; the relocation plan was provided to the tenants on October 3, 2022.
2. Encourage meaningful participation in reviewing the relocation plan and monitoring the relocation assistance program; including the Project area occupants, neighborhood groups and community organizations forming a relocation committee; the City has had multiple discussions and two in person meetings with the Project occupants regarding the relocation plan and processes.
3. Provide technical assistance necessary to interpret elements of the Relocation Plan and other pertinent materials (both Project households will be provided with a copy of the Relocation Plan for review and comment); the City has had multiple discussions and two in person meetings with the Project occupants regarding the relocation plan and processes.
4. Issue a general notice concerning the availability of the Plan for public review, as required, 30 days prior to its proposed approval (both Project households will be provided an Advisory Notice regarding the comment period with a copy of the Relocation Plan); and
5. Include written or oral comments concerning the Plan as an attachment ( Exhibit F) when it is forwarded to the Los Angeles County Development Authority ( LACDA) and the Housing and Community Development Department of the State of California (HCD) for approval.
F. PROJECTED DATE OF DISPLACEMENT
The City anticipates the projected dates of displacements to be on or before February 1, 2023.
G. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The total budget estimate for relocation-related payments for this Project, including a 10% contingency, is $205,000.
EXHIBIT B
20 Version 2
The estimat ed relocation budget does not include any payments related to property acquisition. In addition, the budget does not consider the cost of any services necessary to implement the Plan and complete the relocation element of the Project.
If th
e Project is implemented, and circumstances arise that should change either the number of residential occupants and/or the amount of relocation benefits’ entitlements estimated, the City will authorize any additional funds that may need to be appropriated. The City pledges to appropriate, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to ensure the successful completion of the Project, including funds necessary for LRH as indicated in Section IV, E, of this Plan to meet its obligation under the relocation regulations.

All Occupants
5950 Long Beach Blvd.
Long Beach, CA 90805
De
ar Occupant(s):
The City of Long Beach (called here the “City”) is interested in acquiring the property you currently occupy at 5950 Long Beach Blvd., CA 908 05 and will convert the motel to temporary or permanent homeless housing (Project). This notice is to inform you of your rights under Fed eral and or State law if you are required to move as a result of the Project. If the City moves forward with the Project and you are displaced, you may be eligible for relocation assistance under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA), as amended and/or California Relocation Assistance Law (Sec 7260 et. seq. of the CA Government Code).
However, you do not have to move now.
This is not a notice to vacate the premises or a notice of relocation eligibility.
The City has retained the professional firm of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPC) to represent the City and assist in the relocation process.
If you rent your unit, you should continue to pay your monthly rent because failure to pay rent and meet your obligations as a tenant may be cause for eviction and loss of relocation assistance. You are urged not to move or sign any agreement to purchase or lease a unit before receiving formal notice of eligibility for relocation assistance. If you move or are evicted before receiving such notice, you will not be eligible to receive relocation assistance. Please contact us before you make any moving plans.
If the City moves forward with the project and you are eligible for relocation assistance, you will be given advisory services, including referrals to replacement housing, and at least 90 days advance written notice of the date you will be required to move. You would also receive a payment for moving expenses and may be eligible for financial assistance to help you rent or buy a replacement dwelling.
Any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for, or the amount of, a payment authorized by the City's Relocation Assistance Program may have the appeal application reviewed by the City in accordance with its appeals procedure. Complete details on appeal procedures are available upon request from the City.
Note that pursuant to Public Law 105-117, aliens not lawfully present in the United States are not eligible for relocation assistance under the URA, unless such ineligibility would result in exceptional hardship to a qualifying spouse, parent, or child. All persons seeking relocation assistance will be required to certify that they are a United States citizen or national, or an alien lawfully present in the United States.
EXHIBIT B
31 Version 2
However, otherwise eligible tenants will receive assistance via non-federal funds regardless of legal presence status.
Again, this is not a notice to vacate and does not establish eligibility for relocation payments or other relocation assistance. If the City decides not to move forward with the Project, you will be notified in writing.
If you have any questions about this or any other relocation issues, please contact me at (562) 304- 2019.

All Occupants
5950 Long Beach Boulevard
Long Beach, CA 90805
Dear Occupant:
The City of Long Beach (called here the “City”) is proceeding with the project known as the Homekey City of Long Beach Project located at 5950 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90813.
You will not be required to move without at least 90 days advance written notice of the day by which you must vacate. However, you can contact us at any time for assistance with your move and to receive the benefits for which you are eligible.
This is a notice of eligibility for relocation assistance. You are eligible for relocation assistance and benefits under the City’s Relocation Assistance Program.
When you do move, and depending on your eligibility for specific programs, you may choose assistance under either the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA), or the California Code of State Regulations Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6 (Title 25).
Due to the federal funding of this project, under the URA, persons not lawfully present in the United States are not eligible for relocation payments or advisory assistance, unless such ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien’s spouse, parent, or child any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent resi dence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family unit, and any other impact determined by the City to negatively affect the alien’s spouse, parent or child. Under Title 25, this requirement does not apply.
Therefore, the entitlements stated below under the URA will reflect the number of legally present persons that have been identified in the Certification of Lawful Presence in the U.S. form provided by you, and/or persons for whom a hardship exemption has been approved. Under the URA, there are _ household members out of the total of ___ who are entitled to assistance and benefits. These eligible household members are:
__________________________________________________
Additional information about your benefits was previously provided to you in the Informational Statement. You are eligible to receive the following benefits:
1. RELOCATION ADVISORY ASSISTANCE provided by Overland, Pacific & Cutler , LLC (OPC), a professional firm hired by the City to provide relocation assistance to you, such as referrals to replacement housing and help with filing for benefits.
EXHIBIT B
34 Version 2
2. MOVING EXPENSES: You will receive a payment to assist in moving your personal property. You may select one of the following payments:
Under the URA
A. A Fixed Moving Payment based on the number of rooms you occupy (from Informational Statement). Your pro-rated entitlement under this option for ___ rooms is $_________ (x/x of $__________) or
B. A payment for your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses based on at least two written estimates and receipted bills; prorated to reflect the number of eligible household members (X/X); or
C. A combination of both (in some cases).
Under Title 25
A. A Fixed Moving Payment based on the number of rooms you occupy (from Informational Statement). Your entitlement under this option for __ rooms is $________; or B. A payment for your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses based on at least two written estimates and receipted bills; or
C. A combination of both (in some cases).
3. REPLACEMENT HOUSING ASSISTANCE: You are eligible for a replacement housing payment to rent or purchase a replacement home. The payment will be based on several factors, including the cost of a "comparable replacement dwelling" and your average household income.
You are entitled to choose a replacement housing payment under the URA or Title 25. These two options are explained below.
A. Replacement Housing Assistance Under the URA
If you choose assistance under the URA and rent replacement housing, you may file a claim for a RENTAL ASSISTANCE payment, equal to the difference between the monthly rent and utilities necessary to rent a comparable replacement dwelling (as determined by the City) and the base monthly rent, multiplied by 42 months (see table below).
A study was completed to determine the cost of a comparable replacement dwelling for eligible occupants most nearly representative of your current dwelling. The study indicated that the dwelling located at <<ADDRESS>> with a monthly rent and estimated utilities of $__________ (rent of $__________ and utilities of $______) was the most representative of your current dwelling.
Base monthly rent is defined as the lesser of:
(1) $_________, which represents the average monthly rent ($_______) and average monthly utilities ($________) at your displacement dwelling (if you are paying little or no rent, the amount is based on the economic rental value of your dwelling); or
(2) $__________, which represents thirty (30) percent of your gross monthly household income if your household income is classified as “low income” by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Annual Survey of Income Limits for the Public Housing and Section 8 Programs. (If “N/A”, income was not used in the calculation because you
EXHIBIT B
35 Version 2
have been determined to not be “low income” and/or are a dependent, or the income i
nformation provided was insufficient evidence of income.) Based on the above, your base monthly rent amount is $___________, and your maximum rental assistance payment is calculated as follows:
Maximum URA Rental Assistance Payment Calculation
1 Comparable Dwelling Cost $
2 Base Monthly Rent $
3 Monthly Difference (Line 1 minus Line 2) $
4 Maximum payment (difference times 42 months) $
Your actual payment depends on the cost of the replacement dwelling you decide to rent. If you rent and occupy a replacement dwelling that rents for less than the comparable dwelling, your rental assistance payment will be based on the actual cost of your replacement dwelling. If you rent and occupy a replacement dwelling that rents for more than the comparable dwelling, your rental assistance payment will be limited by the cost of the comparable dwelling.
Please find attached a listing of available comparable replacement dwellings that you may want to consider renting that reflect replacement housing needs under the URA. If you need any assistance or transportation to inspect these referrals, please contact the relocation agent identified below.
B. Replacement Housing Assistance Under Title 25
If you choose assistance under the State Regulations and rent replacement housing, you may file a claim for a RENTAL ASSISTANCE payment, equal to the difference between the monthly rent and utilities necessary to rent a comparable replacement dwelling (as determined by the City) and the base monthly rent, multiplied by 42 months.
A study was completed to determine the cost of a comparable replacement dwelling for eligible occupants most nearly representative of your current dwelling. The study indicated that the dwelling located at <<ADDRESS>> with a monthly rent and estimated utilities of $_______ (rent of $________ and utilities of $______) was the most representative of your current dwelling.
Base monthly rent is defined as the lesser of:
(1) $_________, which represents the average monthly rent ($_______) and average monthly utilities ($____) at your displacement dwelling (if you are paying little or no rent, the amount is based on the economic rental value of your dwelling); or (
2) $_______, which represents thirty (30) percent of your gross monthly adjusted household income (If “N/A”, income was not used in the calculation because it has been determined the income information provided was insufficient evidence of income.)
EXHIBIT B
36 Version 2
Based on the above, your base monthly rent amount is $________ and your maximum rental a
ssistance payment is calculated on the following page:
Maximum Rental Assistance Payment Calculation
1 Comparable Dwelling Cost $
2 Base Monthly Rent $
3 Monthly Difference (Line 1 minus Line 2) $
4 Maximum payment (difference times 42 months) $
Your actual payment depends on the cost of the replacement dwelling you decide to rent. If you rent and occupy a replacement dwelling that rents for less than the comparable dwelling, your rental assistance payment will be based on the actual cost of your replacement dwelling. If you rent and occupy a replacement dwelling that rents for more than the comparable dwelling, your rental assistance payment will be limited by the cost of the comparable dwelling.
If you BUY replacement housing (Downpayment Assistance) You may use the amount of your rental assistance payment under either Section 104(d), the URA or Title 25 for down payment assistance. Should you choose to buy (rather than rent) a decent, safe and sanitary replacement home under the URA or Title 25, you may use the full amount of your rental assistance payment ($____________), as calculated above for a down payment and incidental expenses (typically known as “closing costs”) associated with the purchase of a replacement dwelling. Under the URA or Title 25, you are not limited in the type of home you choose.
If y
ou have received any amount as rental supplements, then those amounts will be deducted from all eligible down payment calculations. Let us know if you would prefer to buy a replacement home, and we will help you find such housing.
To be eligible for a replacement housing payment described above, you must rent or purchase and occupy a decent, safe and sanitary repla cement dwelling within 12 months, as well as file claims for replacement housing or moving payments within 18 months from the date you move from your displacement dwelling.
Failure to occupy the replacement dwelling or to submit claims within the above time limits could result in loss of moving and/or replacement housing benefits.
You do not have to accept any dwelling referred to you by the City. You may choose your own replacement, but to qualify for relocation assistance payments it must first be inspected to assure that it meets the “decent, safe and sanitary” standards. For this reason, DO NOT MOVE from your home and DO NOT CONTRACT to rent or purchase a replacement dwelling without first contacting your relocation agent. The “decent, safe and sanitary” inspection is not a substitute for a professional housing inspection.
The Relocation Assistance Program is very complex. It is important that you carefully read and understand the matters explained in this notice and in the Informational Statement which was provided to you.
EXHIBIT B
37 Version 2
Any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for, or the amount of, a payment authorized by the
City’s Relocation Assistance Program may have the appeal application reviewed by the City in accordance with its appeals procedure. Complete details on appeal procedures are available upon request from your relocation agent.
If at any time you have questions or need assistance, please contact your relocation agent:

and Article 4) is to be built and financed.
§6122 states, “If on the basis of data derived from
surveys and analyses which satisfy the requirements of
§6048 and 6052, the public entity is unable to
dem
onstrate that comparable replacement housing will
be available as required, the head of the public entity shall determine whether to use the public entity’s funds or the funds authorized for the project to provide such nec
essary replacement housing or to modify, suspend,
or terminate the project or undertaking.”
If the Sponsor has found that there is adequate
comparable replacement housing, a statement
stating such should be included in the plan.
(I.e. “There is adequate ‘comparable
replacement housing’ according to the housing
survey (which can be included within the body
of the plan or as an attachment). Therefore,
there is no need to provide Last Resort
Housing Payments.”
If there is a lack of comparable replacement
housing, the Sponsor needs to provide Last
Resort Housing Payments. The Sponsor must
specify their policy concerning allowing lump
