Some of these concentrations may be the result of: a. Availability and utilization of heir property which is. either voluntary as a result of economic need to tain housing and/or housing sites without land costs and/or mortgages. This facet does tend to create clusters of close knit family groups of the same background which positively contributes to maintaince f family bonds. b. Concentrations of lower cost housing modular home communities and other similar developers or agencies targeted toward pro - individuals whose income require them to p� these low income areas. The economic need clustering tendency is a matter of reality ability to impact. ilability in mobile parks, oupings constructed by ing affordable housing to hase or rent housing in sociated with this d beyond the City's PAGE 2 OF 6 C. Lack of understanding or lack of information regarding: (1) availability of rental property or of land or homes for sale without regard for minority status or, (2) procedures involved in selecting and financing a home, i.e., lack of knowledge. d. Perception that fair housing opportunities are unavailable due to discrimination, prejudice or other similar factors. This individual perception is typically based on past experience or may have been obtained elsewhere, or may result from deeply ingrained attitudes acquired over time, with awareness or impact of affirmative action events occurring over the last several years. e. Previous discrimination in housing, either in lending, zoning, other regulations, education, real estate sales, and so forth, which may have influenced family location, which subsequently after positive actions to alleviate, eliminate or abate those factors, has not changed geographic location, even though opportunity now exists, because of economics or personal choice. f. Establishment and/or maintenance, either previously or recently, of multi -generation family units, often from necessity such as health or economics,' so that elderly, handicapped, ill, young, pregnant, unemployed, unmarried, etc all family members are not displaced from their homes and to ensure that loving, economical family care and security is available. This factor, while typically motivated by bonds and bloodlines, may also be the result of the local unavailabilty, or the local uneconomic availability, of the special needs required by these, and other persons, which require special or group housing. IV. Review of Regulations The City's documents were reviewed to determine inclusion, inference or existence of barriers or impediments to achievement of Fair Housing goals in the community. The review concluded that these locally adopted documents meet minimum State imposed requirements, -but do not significantly farther. Further, it was determined that the following status exists: a. Policies, procedures and regulations. No barriers or impediments found. b. Land development regulations, zoning and building codes, and related regulations. No barriers or impediments found. C. Comprehensive Plan. No barriers or impediments found. d. Ordinances.

Displacement Avoidance Policy: The City of Okeechobee is committed to a policy to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that activities undertaken through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and/or other federal funding will not cause unnecessary displacement or relocation. Such federally funded programs will be administered in such a manner that careful consideration is given during the planning phase with regard to avoiding displacement. The City will also provide information to and keep citizens involved in the process regarding pending land use changes, zoning and rezoning actions that threaten the preservation of residential areas. Involuntary displacement shall be reserved as a last resort action necessitated only when no other alternative is available and when the activity is determined necessary in order to carry out a specific goal or objective that is of benefit to the public. In this case, community development and housing programs will be planned in a manner which avoids displacement of households or business. However, "voluntarv" displacement (temporary or permanent) may be necessary in order to achieve a benefit to a household or business (such as rehabilitation or replacement of the building). Such benefits shall be identified and requested by the displaces. voluntary displacement may also occur when a property owner voluntarily offers his home or business property for sale to the City. In these cases, the seller may be required to waive rights as a condition of sale of the property, and the Uniform Relocation Act provisions will govern actions of the City and/or its representative. 24 CPR part 570 is a governing document on displacement and is incorporated by reference. 49 CFR Part 24 provides Uniform Relocation Act information and is incorporated by reference. As pertains to the City's tenant Assistance, Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Plan, the U.S. department of Housing and Urban Development Handbook #1378, September 1990, shall be adopted in its entirety. II. Definitions of "Standard" and "Non -Standard Suitable for Rehabilitation" Dwelling Unit Condition. In the absence of federal and state provided definitions, the following is provided to establish a frame of reference and context when dealing with matters of displacement and/or relocation as defined in 24 CFR Part 570 and 49 CFR Part 24.

PAGE 5 OF 11 If these costs are equal to or less than 65% of the value of a comparable replacement unit as obtained from more than one licensed contractor, the dwelling will be considered suitable for rehabilitation. If the predicted cost exceeds 65%, the unit will be deemed unsuitable. This criteria is arbitrary, however, and the City Commission/Board of Adjustments may authorize deviations based on the unique aspects of each dwelling, owner, tenant, etc. on a case by case basis. each deviation so approved must be thoroughly documented. Displacement Policv and Procedures III. Permanent, Involuntary Displacement The City will provide reasonable relocation assistance to persons (families, individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, displaced (moved permanently and involuntarily as a result of the use of CDBG/federal assistance to acquire or substantially rehabilitate property.

Provisions for Relocation Assistance for residential Displacement. The City will provide relocation assistance, as described in 24 CFR Part 570, to each low/moderate-income household involuntarily displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling to another use as a direct result of CDBG/federally assisted activities. Persons that are relocated are entitled to: 1. A choice between actual reasonable moving expenses or a fixed expense and dislocation allowance. 2. Advisory services. 3.

It is not the local government's policy to displace families in rental units. Participating landlords will be required to warrant that the proposed rehabilitation will not cause any tenant to be permanently displaced unless the owner will be able to relocate the tenant displaced in accordance with HUD relocation criteria. Rental Rehabilitation funds will not be used to rehabilitate the structures if the rehabilitation will cause the permanent displacement of LMI families. B. If it becomes necessary for an owner to temporarily move a tenant from a unit as a direct result of rehabilitation assisted through rental rehabilitation funds, the owners will assure that the tenant is offered a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit at an affordable rate as described in the applicable regulations. No tenant will be considered displaced if the owner has offered the tenant a decent, safe, sanitary and affordable unit and the tenant has declined the offer. C. Should temporary displacement become necessary for a LMI family as a result of the rental rehabilitation assistance, the owner will assure that tenants are provided the necessary financial assistance, information, counseling, referrals and housing location options regarding Federal Fair Housing Ordinance and other relocation services as needed without regard to race, color, religion, sex, familial status, age, handicap or national origin, so as to enable the family to obtain decent, safe, and sanitary housing at an affordable rent. D. The Housing Authority at the City of Okeechobee shall provide federal preference to any qualified LMI family subject to relocation. Where Section 8 Housing vouchers are available, such preference will apply. E. Where required compensation to obtain replacement housing shall not exceed $3,000 threshold. Should such projected compensation to the tenant exceed this threshold, consideration shall be given to not performing the demolition rehabilitation which would cause the displacement. VII. Displacement of Homeowners When rehabilitation of the dwelling is not feasible of cost effective, demolition of house with CDBG/federal funds may be considered, only as a voluntary action by the home- owner.

PAGE 7 OF 10 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES FOR REHABILITATION PROGRAM 1. After verification of the client's eligibility, the property will be inspected by both the Community Development Office (CDO) estimator and the homeowner. Upon completion of the inspection, a work write-up will be completed. 2. Before the work is advertised for bid, the Community Development Office (CDO) representative and the participants will meet to review all the information to assure proper understanding and agreement. 3. The documents are then dated and signed by the participants. 4. All forms necessary for the client and the City to review will be completed as required by that stage of work. S. The work is then advertised for bid. All bids are placed through local papers and building organizations. The bids will then be tabulated. The low bid, if within an acceptable range to the Community Development Office (CDO)'s estimate, will then go before the CATF for review and its recommendation to the Council for approval. 6. Should the bid be higher than the acceptable range, the work will be re -bid. 7. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder by the Council. 8. The successful contractor will have 72 hours from the date of notification to give acceptance to the Community Development Office (CDO) and produce all necessary licenses and insurances. Should the contractor fail to perform in accordance with the bid or be unable to produce the necessary licenses and insurances, the Council will, at its discretion, award the contract to the next lowest bidder or have the work re -bid. 9. When the contract has been successfully awarded, the client may be required to temporarily relocate. 10. The client will have their belongings moved and stored.
