Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 6044 - Temporary Move(a) General. (1) A public entity shall be required to minimize to the greatest extent feasible the use of temporary relocation resources (as defined in section 6042) but, when a project plan anticipates moves back into completed project accommodations, temporary relocation resources may be used, at the displaced person's election for a limited period of time.(2) Temporary relocation does not diminish the responsibility of the pubic entity to provide relocation assistance, services and benefits designed to achieve permanent relocation of displaced persons into comparable replacement dwellings.(b) Requirements. (1) Temporary replacement housing may not be relied upon if comparable replacement housing will not be available to the displaced person within 12 months of the date of the temporary move.(2) Prior to the move, the public entity shall have determined and have provided written assurance to each displaced person that:(A) Comparable replacement housing will be made available at the earliest possible time but in any event no later than 12 months from the date of the move to temporary housing. Temporarily housed persons may agree to extend the 12 month limitation but, if they do not, the public entity shall ensure that comparable replacement dwellings are available within the 12 month period.(B) Comparable replacement housing will be made available, on a priority basis, to the individual or family who has been temporarily rehoused.(C) The move to temporary housing will not affect a claimant's eligibility for a replacement housing payment nor deprive him of the same choice of replacement housing units that would have been made available had the temporary move not been made and the costs of a temporary move will not be considered as all or a part of the relocation payments to which a displaced person is entitled.(D) If a project plan anticipates moves back into replacement housing accommodations in the project or program area, the person who has been temporarily displaced will be given priority opportunity to obtain such housing accommodations.(E) The public entity will pay all costs in connection with the move to temporary housing, including increased housing costs.Cal.
