dwelling units by size and provide information identifying the specific
location and number of dwelling units by size as soon as it is available.

notification and provision of relocation assistance, as described in CFR 570.606 (b)

of multi-family buildings.

5.Adopt public policies to identify and mitigate displacement resulting from
intensive public investment in neighborhoods.
