RESIDENTIAL ANTIDISPLACE ENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN
(for the Community Development Block Grant Program)
Weld County will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate
income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as
low/moderate income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with
CDBG funds, as required by Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended (the Act) , and implementing regulations
at 24 CFR 570.496a.
All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the
commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion.
Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such
demolition or conversion, the Weld County will make public and submit to the
State the following information in writing:
1. Description of the proposed assisted activity;
2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling
units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or
converted to a use other than as low/moderate dwelling units as
a direct result of the assisted activity;
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the
demolition or conversion;
•
4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling
units by size (number of bedrooms: that will be provided as
replacement dwelling units;
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of
replacement dwelling units; and,
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will
remain in a low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10
years from the date of initial occupancy.
The Weld County will provide relocation assistance, as described in
570.496a(b)(2) , to each low/moderate income household displaced by the
demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate income dwelling
to another use as a direct result of assisted activities.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the
Act, the Weld County will take the steps indicated below to minimize the
displacement of persons from their homes:
X Provide substantial levels of relocation assistance, as required
by 24 CFR 570.496a(b) (2) . The substantial cost of providing such
assistance serves as a strong deterrent to unnecessary
displacement.

X Replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income
housing demolished or converted as a direct result of CDBG-
assisted project activities, and make such replacement housing
affordable for at least ten years. The substantial cost of
providing such replacement housing serves as a strong deterrent
to unnecessary displacement.
X Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which
may result in residential displacement. Alternatives to be
considered include other sites for the proposed
facilities/project. Also to be considered are the costs and
benefits, both financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative.
X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees
find alternative housing in the community.
X Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate
vacancies for households facing displacement.
X Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to
remain during and after rehabilitation, working with empty
buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be
rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before rehab on occupied
units or buildings is begun.
Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house
families whose displacement will be of short duration, so they
can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new
construction.
_ Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in
reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial
burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi-family
buildings.
_ Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with
neighborhood organizations to continuously review neighborhood
development trends, identify displacement problems, and identify
individuals facing displacement who need assistance.

Re: Approval of Division of Housing Documents
Date: March 23, 1994
As discussed at the Housing Authority work session of March 21, 1994, the State
Division of Housing has requested that we submit revised certifications for our
HOME contract. Originally, we submitted certifications with our grant application.
These forms, according to the State were generic forms for the CDBG program. Since
then the State has amended the forms to conform with HUD requirements. They are
asking that we provide the attached certifications for the HOME contract:
1. Division of Housing Disclosure Report;
2. Applicant Statement of Assurance and Certifications;
3. Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan; and
4. Citizen Participation Plan.
As explained to us, the forms are required in order to satisfy HUD monitoring.
Briefly, the Disclosure form lists the funds which have been provided, as well as
other funding sources, which support the activities of our housing rehabilitation
program.
The applicant Statement of Assurance and Certification details the regulations
which must be complied in return for receiving Federal assistance.
The Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Plan essentially certifies that we
will comply with regulations concerning displacement of individuals. We have no
plans to displace any individual through our housing rehabilitation or replacement
housing activity.
The Citizen Participation plan changes any reference to the CDBG program to "CDOH"
or the Colorado Division of Housing.
The above actions are basically housekeeping issues concerning this years HOME/CDBG
contracts.
Staff is recommending your approval of the above Certifications and Plans.
If you have any questions, please telephone me at 352-1551, Extension 6200.
