Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted <br />under the Act, the County of Hawaii will take the following <br />steps: <br />1. To minimize the displacement of persons from their <br />homes: <br />A. Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow <br />tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation, <br />working with empty buildings or groups of empty <br />units first so they can be rehabilitated first and <br />tenants moved in before rehabilitation on occupied <br />units or buildings is begun. <br />B. Establish temporary relocation facilities in order <br />to house families whose displacement will be of <br />short duration, so they can move back to their <br />neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new <br />construction. <br />2. To assist displaced persons to remain in their present <br />neighborhood: <br />A. Provide lower-income housing in the neighborhood <br />through HUD housing programs; purchase units as <br />is; rehabilitate vacant units; or construct small <br />multi -family buildings or row housing. <br />B. Give priority in assisted housing units in the <br />neighborhood to area residents facing <br />displacement. <br />C. Target Section 8 existing program certificates or <br />vouchers to households being displaced and recruit <br />area landlords to participate in the program. <br />D. Provide counseling and referral services to help <br />displacees find alternate housing in the <br />neighborhood. <br />E. Work with area landlords and real estate brokers <br />to locate vacancies for households facing <br />displacement. <br />3. To otherwise mitigate adverse effects of displacement: <br />A. Take various actions to assist in the provision of <br />assisted housing for lower income persons, such as <br />land banking, property acquisition, solicitation <br />of developers, etc. <br />Residential Relocation Plan <br />-2- OHCD/1189C/7-93 <br />
