RECOMMENDATIONS

ACCEPT report on the relocation status of the families at the Las Deltas public housing development in North Richmond.

BACKGROUND

As part of the RAD conversion of the Las Deltas public housing units, the Housing Authority is required to assist the families living at Las Deltas to find new, affordable places to live. All of the residents living at Las Deltas at the time of conversion, must be assisted under the laws and regulations set forth in the Uniform Relocation Act, California Relocation Assistance Law and the California Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines.

BACKGROUND (CONT'D)

There were 81 families living at Las Deltas when it was approved for RAD. All are/were eligible for relocation benefits. In September 2017, the Housing Authority began officially moving families out of Las Deltas. Although a few of the 81 families had moved before this date, these early movers retained eligibility for, and were offered, relocation benefits. The mover status of the Las Deltas families as of May 7, 2018 is as follows:

Total Las Deltas Families Eligible for Relocation	81

Total Families That Have Moved	44
Moved to other public housing	28
Moved using voucher within HACCC jurisdiction	9
Moved using voucher outside of HACCC jurisdiction	6
Moved and left HACCC programs	1

Total Families Pending Move	37
Waiting to move to other public housing unit	11
Already issued voucher, searching for a unit	24
Waiting for voucher to be issued	2

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding of approximately $1.4 million is provided in the Housing Authority's current PHA Annual Plan Capital Fund Program budget for the cost of the relocation consultants and all direct relocation costs that will be provided to families (e.g., security deposits, utility transfer fees and the costs to hire movers). $1 million is targeted for direct relocation costs for the families of Las Deltas.
