The Relocation Plan Priority Ladder
Project Information
The subject project is an expansion of an existing east / west roadway by the State DOT in a developing community. The right-of-way acquisitions for this project include the following:
• Total take of a gas station • Eight-Family apartment building • Two single-family residences • A single-family residence which includes a licensed auto body repair shop in a separate building • Two businesses located at the intersection of the expanded roadway and cross street
Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in six months, with a construction letting scheduled one year after r/w acquisition begins.
The Agency has completed all interviews except for the business owner of a bar and package store.
Your group has received twenty cards listing information that may be relevant to the development of the relocation plan for this project in one of the following categories:
Residential interviews (Yellow)
• The Smith’s have 6 children; all 8 family members currently live in a 3 bedroom home; they are owner-occupants; low-income and cannot afford higher real estate taxes. • A disabled grandparent may require level entry at the replacement dwelling. • 6 tenants occupy dwellings and receive government rental assistance. • Elderly couple occupies a 5 bedroom, 50 year old house.
Business interviews (Pink)
• Business disposes of hazardous materials as part of its operation. • Language barrier exists with business owner who speaks little English. • Auto body repair shop has two bays; one with a pit and one with a hydraulic lift – the lift is personal property • Bar and package store will be displaced.
Availability of replacement sites (Blue)
• Housing Authority says they have no units available for displaced persons receiving government assistance. • There are adequate rental replacement dwellings on the south end of town, which is generally considered less desirable than subject area. • Housing market appears “tight” – especially for 3 and 4 bedroom rentals. • You need to estimate the value of each owner-occupied dwelling to determine if housing of last resort will be needed
Concurrent displacements (Salmon)
• Proposed second phase of the subject project, possibly two years from now, will displace a large number of tenants • Local airport authority considering runway expansion may affect residential neighborhood area • City has project displacing 20 residences / 3 businesses beginning in 6 months • State is implementing a first-time home buyer program
Schedule (Green)
• Business with 6 employees will need to build a replacement facility • Phase I environmental studies show that 3 properties need Phase II environmental assessments • Property management section asks for a list of all property owner names and addresses to prepare for demolition • Consultant engineering firm informs DOT they are behind schedule in completing design plans
Prioritize the information listed on each card in relation to the relocation plan so that the one your group thinks is the most important to consider when developing a relocation plan for this project will receive a “1” and the least important will receive a “4”.
Appoint a spokesperson for the group to explain your group’s reasoning. We will then discuss your reasoning and logic used in prioritizing the items for your relocation plan.

Comparable Concepts in Replacement Housing
We will be watching a video that describes different concepts concerning comparable replacement housing. The video has two “stops” which ask questions. At each “stop” we will take a few minutes to answer the question, and then we will discuss the answer as a group.
Which replacement dwelling is functionally equivalent to the displacement dwelling?
Which house would you choose as the comparable replacement dwelling?
Subject Dwelling 10 Rooms, 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3,800 square feet, side yard with a pond

9 Participant’s Workbook Case Study 6.1 – Challenging Relocations
You have been handed all of the difficult relocations on the Cleveland Innerbelt project. Using the provisions of Last Resort Housing and good business practices, determine one or two likely scenarios to resolve each of these situations.
1. Bad Credit: The Seasly family is a long-term owner-occupant, but the family has had some difficult times. A year ago, Mr. Seasly lost his job and the family credit is in bad shape. They cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage but will require a mortgage to purchase housing.
2. Poor References: The Philabaum family has been in a dispute with their landlord for the last several months. The landlord has stated that if it were not for the proposed project, he would have evicted them. He refuses to provide them a reference, and that has led to the denial of their rental application from other landlords. You have not found a landlord that will rent to the family.
3. Government Assisted Housing: The Link family is receiving a housing choice voucher and will be displaced on the Innerbelt project. You have worked with the local public housing authority (PHA), but still cannot locate a comparable replacement dwelling that they can occupy using the housing choice voucher. You need to move this family in the next few months.
4. Non-DS&S: The Stewart family currently owns and resides in a three bedroom home; however, there are too many people for the size of the dwelling according to the local housing codes. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart; the four children (two boys and two girls); and Mrs. Stewart’s elderly aunt. You have located only three bedroom homes in the area, and the Stewarts need to stay in this area since they walk to work and school, and have no other transportation.
5. Disabled Modifications: You have computed a rental subsidy for Mark Manzo, and he has found a very nice apartment within those computed amounts. However, he reminds you that he still needs “assist” bars in the bathroom. The landlord has agreed to install these but he also wants to be paid for the installation and future removal of these items if Mr. Manzo should move from the dwelling. He is worried that the next tenant would consider the items a detriment to the property.
