It is the intent of the City to avoic, to the greatest extent feasible, the involuntary displacement of any persons as a result of Community Development Block Grant activities· This effort to minimize involuntary displacement will be carried out by designing activities in such a way that displacement is avoided, except in extraordinary circumstances in which no feasible alternatives to displacement are available if the City's community development objectives are to be met. Should involuntary displacement become necessary under such circumstances, relocation benefits will be provided in accordance with applicable Federal and State law. In the event that the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (the Unifor~ Act) is not applicable to an activity causing involuntary displacement, it shall be the City's policy that persons involuntarily displaced will receive the same level of financial benefits as those prescribed under the Uniform Act. Relocation benefits will be provided from CDBG funds or from other funds. For activities not subject to the Uniform Act, a person will be considered involuntarily displaced and thereby eligible for re- location benefits only if that person: (1) is a lawful tenant of the affected property at the time of, or immediately preceding: (a) acquisition of the property; or (b) rehabilitation of the property in cases not involving acquisition; and (2) receives a notice to vacate the property by a date certain. Tenants who voluntarily move prior to receiving a notice to vacate or tenants who are evicted for lawful cause shall not be entitled to relocation benefits. The following requirements shall apply for acquisition or rehabilitation of property which will involve involuntary displacement not subject to the Uniform Act: No rental increases shall be permitted between the time of acquisition or rehabilitation and the date of displacement without written justification. Tenants to be displaced shall be given a minimum of sixty (60) days written notice prior to the date of displacement, and shall be advised o£ their eligibility for relocation benefits, if applicable. Tenants who become occupants of a property after it has been acquired with Community Development Block Grant funds shall be informed in writing prior to their occupancy that the property will be available to them only for an interim use and that they shall not be eligible for relocation benefits at the time they are required to vacate the property. Such tenants shall acknowledge in writing the receipt of this information.
