(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;
(6) The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate dwelling unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy;
(7) An analysis determining whether a dwelling unit proposed to be demolished is occupiable or not; and
(8) An analysis determining whether a dwelling unit proposed to be demolished or converted is considered a low/moderate income unit.
(c) The City will provide relocation assistance, as described in 24 CFR 570.496(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.
(d) Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City agrees to provide substantial levels of assistance displacement of persons displaced by HUD-assisted programs and will further seek to minimize displacement of persons as a result of assisted activities.
