All replacement housing will be provided within three years after the commencement of the demolition or conversion. Before entering into a contract committing the City of Rexburg to provide funds for an activity that will directly result in demolition or conversion, the City of Rexburg will make public by publication in the Rexburg Standard Journal and submit to the Idaho Department of Commerce the following information in writing: 1. A description of the proposed assisted activity; 2. The location on a map and number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate-income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activities; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The location on a map and the number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units. If such data are not available at the time of the general submission, the City of Rexburg will identify the general location on an area map and the approximate number of dwelling units by size and provide information identifying the specific location and number of dwelling units by size as soon as it is available; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling units; 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy; 7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the housing needs of lower-income households in the jurisdiction. The City Clerk of Rexburg, (208) 359-3026, is responsible for tracking the replacement of housing and ensuring that it is provided within the required period. The City Clerk of Rexburg, (208) 359-3026, is responsible for ensuring requirements are met for notification and provision of relocation assistance, as described in CFR 570.606(b) through (g), to any lower-income person displaced by the demolition of any dwelling unit or the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling unit to another use in connection with an assisted activity. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City of Rexburg will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes: 1. Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs. 2. Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or tenants of multi- family buildings. 3. Stage rehabilitation of apartment units to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation by working with empty units or buildings first. 4. Establish facilities to house persons who must be relocated temporarily during rehabilitation. 5. Adopt public policies to identify and mitigate displacement resulting from intensive public investment in neighborhoods. 6. Adopt policies which provide reasonable protections for tenants faced with conversion to a condominium or cooperative. 7. Adopt tax assessment policies such as deferred tax payment plans to reduce impact of rapidly increasing assessments on lower-income owner-occupants or tenants in revitalizing areas. 8. Establish counseling centers to provide homeowners and renters with information on the assistance available to help them remain in their neighborhood in the face of revitalization pressures. (The jurisdiction should include one or more of the above to implement the planning for minimizing the direct and indirect displacement of persons from their homes.)
