RECOMMENDATIONS
OPEN the public hearing on the Housing Authority's Relocation Plan for the residents of Las Deltas in North
Richmond, RECEIVE testimony, and CLOSE the public hearing.
APPROVE the Relocation Plan governing relocation services that will be provided to the residents of the Las Deltas
public housing development in North Richmond as part of the process to vacate the property and prepare it for
disposition under HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program.
BACKGROUND
On December 17, 2013, the Board approved submission of two RAD applications for the conversion of 90 vacant
public housing units at Las Deltas in North Richmond to RAD project-based voucher (PBV) units that could be used
to fund development of affordable housing throughout the County. On March 30, 2015, HUD approved these two
applications.
On August 18, 2015, the Board authorized submission of two more RAD applications to HUD that increased
HACCC's previously approved applications for 90 vacant units to include all 214 units at Las Deltas. These RAD
applications received HUD approvals on August 16, 2016.
As was discussed previously with the Board, all RAD awards are conditional and will require dozens of further HUD
approvals before the final conversion of Las Deltas public housing units through RAD is complete. It is expected that
the total conversion of Las Deltas will take 2-3 years to complete. Along with closing the financing of the

Subject:Las Deltas Relocation Plan
June 13, 2017 Contra Costa Housing Authority 4
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
thirteen properties that will receive RAD project-based voucher funding, one of the key next steps in the RAD
process will be to help the families living at Las Deltas find new, affordable places to live. All of the residents
living at Las Deltas at the time of conversion, must be assisted under the laws and regulations set forth in the
Uniform Relocation Act, California Relocation Assistance Law, and the California Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Guidelines. It is expected that most, if not all, of the tenants at Las Deltas will move to
another public housing property or will relocate using a housing choice voucher. At least one family has
expressed interest in buying their unit.
HUD regulations require that prior to the commencement of any relocation actions by a housing authority, the
Board of Commissioners and HUD must approve the relocation plan. On July 19, the Board approved the
procurement of relocation services from Overland, Pacific & Cutler to provide relocation services to the residents
of Las Deltas. The services of the relocation consultant will ensure that HACCC meets all of its legal obligations
surrounding relocation. The relocation consultant will also provide comprehensive housing search assistance to
Las Deltas tenants. The attached relocation plan was prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler and HACCC staff
with input from residents and community advocates. It details the proposed relocation process for the residents at
Las Deltas.
Once a relocation plan is approved by the Board, staff will submit it to HUD for review.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding of approximately $1.3 million for the relocation consultants and all direct relocation costs to families will
be paid using HACCC's approved annual Capital Fund Program (CFP) budget.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Should the Board of Commissioners not approve the proposed relocation plan, HACCC would not be authorized
to begin the relocation process to help families at Las Deltas find suitable replacement housing. More importantly,
since families can move of their own volition, any family that moves before a relocation plan is approved may not
receive all of the benefits afforded under the plan.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
CLOSED the hearing and APPROVED the relocation plan.

Notice of Eligibility and Conditional Entitlement
Section 8 Tenant-Occupant
<<DATE>>
<<ALL ELIGIBLE ADULTS>>
<<MAILING ADDRESS>>
<<CITY, STATE ZIP>>
Dear Occupants:
The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa (called here the “Displacing
Agency”) is proceeding with the project known as Las Deltas. To carry out this project, it will
be necessary for you to relocate from your dwelling at <<SITE ADDRESS>>.
You will not be required to move without at least 90 days advance written notice of
the day by which you must vacate. However, you can contact us at any time for
assistance with your move and to receive the benefits for which you are eligible.
This is a notice of eligibility for relocation assistance.
The effective date of your
eligibility, known as the “initiation of negotiations”, is <<INIT OF NEGOTIATIONS DATE>>.
You are eligible for relocation assistance and benefits under the Displacing Agency’s Relocation
Assistance Program.
Additional information about your benefits was previously provided to you in the Informational
Statement. You are eligible to receive the following benefits:
1. RELOCATION ADVISORY ASSISTANCE: provided by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
(OPC), a professional firm hired by the Displacing Agency to provide relocation assistance
to you, such as referrals to replacement housing and help with filing for benefits.
2. MOVING EXPENSES: You will receive a payment to assist in moving your personal
property. You may select one of the following payments:
A. A Fixed Moving Payment
B. A payment for your
based on the number of rooms you occupy (from Informational
Statement). Your entitlement under this option for <<ROOM COUNT>> rooms is
$<<FIXED MOVING AMOUNT>>; or
Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses
C. A combination of both (in some cases).
based on at least
two written estimates and receipted bills; or
3. SECURITY DEPOSIT AND CREDIT CHECKS: The Displacing Agency may pay the cost
of any security deposit required to rent a Section 8 approved replacement dwelling unit, and
the Displacing Agency may also cover any required credit checks fees.

4. REPLACEMENT HOUSING ASSISTANCE: Based on information you have provided us,
you have been receiving rental assistance through the <<HOUSING AUTHORITY
NAME>> Housing Authority's Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. You may
continue using your Section 8 Voucher to apply as a tenant for other comparable
replacement dwellings.
If comparable rentals are not available within the Housing Authority’s payment standard for
your replacement housing needs, and there is a difference between your current rent and
your new rent at a replacement dwelling, you will be eligible to receive a gap differential
paid to you over a 42 month period.
To be eligible for a replacement housing payment described above, you must rent or purchase
and occupy a decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling within 12 months, as well as
file claims for replacement housing or moving payments within 18 months from the date you
move from your displacement dwelling. Failure to occupy the replacement dwelling or to
submit claims within the above time limits could result in loss of moving and/or
replacement housing benefits.
As part of our advisory services, we have also enclosed referrals to available replacement units
on the market in your area, which accept Section 8 tenants. Please notify us, if you identify a
unit that you would be interested in securing as a replacement dwelling.
You do not have to accept any dwelling referred to you by the Displacing Agency. You may
choose your own replacement, but to qualify for relocation assistance payments it must first be
inspected to assure that it meets the “decent, safe and sanitary” standards. For this reason, DO
NOT MOVE from your home and DO NOT CONTRACT to rent or purchase a
replacement dwelling without first contacting your relocation agent and the
Housing Authority. The “decent, safe and sanitary” inspection is not a substitute for a
professional housing inspection.
If you remain in occupancy of your present dwelling after the Displacing Agency has completed
the purchase, you must continue to pay your rent to the Displacing Agency for the period of
your tenancy, as well as meet all other conditions stated in your lease or rental agreement.
The Relocation Assistance Program is very complex. It is important that you carefully read and
understand the matters explained in this notice and in the Informational Statement which was
provided to you. Any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for, or the amount of,
a payment authorized by the Displacing Agency’s Relocation Assistance Program may have the
appeal application reviewed by the Displacing Agency in accordance with its appeals procedure.
Complete details on appeal procedures are available upon request from the Displacing Agency.
If at any time you have questions or need assistance, please contact your OPC relocation agent:
