CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
DISPLACEMENT POLICY
In accordance with the requirements of Federal law, the City of
South San Francisco hereby provides citizens with its policy for
minimizing displacement of persons as a result of activities
assisted with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and
assisting persons actually displaced as a result of such
activities.
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.
