The Project will include 93 affordable units, a community room, <br />and a flexible non-residential space. Since obtaining City Council approval of the funding and <br />entitlements for this project, National CORE has obtained additional funding from the State of <br />California, including funding from the No Place Like Home program. With approval by the City <br />Council on February 4, 2020, National CORE most recently submitted a funding application for an <br />amount not to exceed $30 million from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities <br />Grant Program. <br />Based on California law, when state funds are provided to a project which would lead to the <br />displacement of people from their homes and/or business, the legislative body must approve a <br />Relocation Plan. The draft Legacy Square Project Relocation Plan (Exhibit 1) has been prepared <br />in conformance with applicable provisions of California Relocation Assistance Law and Relocation <br />Guidelines and the Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 ("URA"). <br />This Relocation Plan is required due to the necessary demolition of the existing structures and the <br />two current Project occupants will need to be permanently relocated. The needs and <br />characteristics of the displaced population, available relocation resources, and National CORE's <br />program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of the Relocation <br />Plan. National CORE is utilizing Overland, Pacific & Cuter, Inc. as their relocation consultant for <br />the Relocation Plan and services. <br />55A-1 <br />
