Theo –
Please see response below. As noted, a comprehensive relocation plan will be developed, but
this should provide a solid summary of what that plan will state. Happy to go into further detail
as needed.
The rehabilitation of Solomon Towers will be an in-place rehabilitation. Residents will remain
at the property during construction and no permanent relocation is required. The
development team, in coordination with the property management team and the residents,
will develop a comprehensive relocation plan prior to the start of construction and this plan
will detail how construction will be completed in an orderly and efficient manner with primary
emphasis on minimizing disruption to the resident base. The key aspects of such a plan will
include the following:
Continual communication between the owner, property management team, the general
contractor and, most importantly, the residents is the key to a successful occupied
rehabilitation. As such, the development team will hire a resident liaison team to
distribute notices to residents describing upcoming work in the building or their unit,
assist residents in preparing their units for renovation, providing contractors/other
vendors with access to units and/or other building areas and securing same at the end
of each work day and, generally, to coordinate all parties’ activities on site.
Unit renovations will occur during normal work hours and it is currently anticipated that
residents will be able to return to their unit at the end of each work day. The
development team will establish day rooms in the building where residents can go while
their unit is being renovated. These day rooms will be established in the property’s
community room and, if necessary, additional units can be held offline to serve in this
capacity. The community room and offline units would be fully furnished (couch, chairs,
TVs, etc.) with light refreshments being provided to create a welcoming, comfortable
environment for residents to spend the day.
Typically, in-unit renovations, primarily the renovation of the kitchen and bath, will be
completed in a single, 5-day work week. Additional access outside of this timeframe
may be required for additional work - including window replacement. However, the goal
is to minimize the need to access units on multiple occasions and, as such, the
development team endeavors to have all work completed within the scheduled, 5-day
work week. For units being converted to full ADA accessible units, these renovations
will take approximately 30 days to complete. As a result, the development team will
Caution: This is an external email.
hold unit(s) offline, fully convert those unit(s) to ADA units which then allows residents
whose units are receiving an ADA conversion to reside their while their unit is being
completed. This allows the resident to remain at the property as opposed to relocating
offsite.
Given the senior population at this property, the resident liaison team will need to
address the needs specific of this population – including mobility and/or other
limitations – that may impact the residents’ ability to move their possessions, relocate
to another unit temporarily, access day rooms, etc. In this respect, both active and
continual communication are required to address resident needs upfront whether that
being hiring movers, relocating to a completed ADA unit, etc. The development team
has been completing in-place rehabilitations for over 30 years and understands that
being flexible and accommodating is the key to assisting residents during the
rehabilitation.
The development team has currently budgeted $302,000 ($2,000/unit) to implement the
resident relocation plan. Costs include staffing the resident liaison team,
furnishing/equipping the day rooms noted above, hiring movers, etc., but may include
other unforeseen costs necessary to address resident needs.
Over the last 30 years, the development team has rehabilitated over 10,000 affordable housing
units and has specialized in completing these rehabilitations in an occupied setting. As such,
it has the requisite expertise and experience to successfully complete the rehabilitation of
Solomon Towers in a similar manner.
Again, if more information or documentation is needed, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thanks

Relocation Services
Since 20___ periodic meetings were conducted regarding mold remediation, with the sole
purpose of preparing residents for their temporary relocation, how families would return to the
units and implementation of this Plan. Meeting participants included WHA staff and WHA
Residents.
Relocation Services will commence once plan is submitted and approved by WHA
WHA’s ROTC team has utilized its office at 1524 South 16th Street, Wilmington, NC to interact
with (Name of Development) residents. ROTC will work cooperatively to relocate each and
every family into appropriate housing based on household needs in accordance with the URA.
No resident on the household’s dwelling unit lease agreement will be placed into homelessness
as a result of temporary relocation for this development. WHA will consider various
individualized facts specific to each household’s preference for where to relocate, including but
not limited to, transportation, access to childcare, place of worship, access to retail, grocery
stores and other amenities.
ADA/504 and Title VI Language Access
Compliance
WHA has made and will continue to make every effort to include any disabled residents in the
relocation planning as well as provide services to disabled residents affected by relocation.
WHA will also ensure that families with Limited English Proficiency/Non-English Proficiency
(LEP/NEP) To this end, the ROTC will ensure that:
❖ Any residents with disabilities will be identified through WHA’s Property Management
Office and the resident files, as well as from information obtained during the interview
session with the family.
❖ All official correspondence contains a footnote directing residents with disabilities, or
residents who are elderly, to contact the corresponding division at WHA and the NC 211
hotline line for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, for assistance with attending

WHA when meetings announcements have been reduced to writing;
❖ Any referral to a “comparable housing unit” made to a family with a disabled member
will be accessible or modified to accommodate the needs of the disabled family
member; and
❖ Audio and language interpreters (for persons who are deaf, hard of hearing or persons
who are LEP/NEP residents) will be made available at appointments or public meetings,
per WHA’s policy.
Counseling and Other Advisory Services
Due to the volume of families and the length of time needed to clear the site, WHA’s ROTC
team will be used to provide relocation and mobility services to residents. A ROTC team
member will be available during the specified, daily office hours for the convenience of residents
who will be receiving referrals and other services related to their relocation.
WHA’s ROTC Team will comply, to the extent those required, with all applicable federal, state
and local laws. Planned services that will be provided include, but are not limited to:
❖ Conducting a housing preference survey for each affected family one on one to
determine the specific and special needs of the family. See Appendix B.

public or subsidized housing or the option of first-time homeownership.
❖ Assisting in applying for relocation benefits, including payment for costs directly
related to their relocation. See Related Moving Assistance section below.
❖ Providing referrals to comparable, decent safe and sanitary housing. Referrals may
be made to other public housing units or housing available with the use of a voucher.
See Appendix D.
❖ Sustaining relationships between families by offering referrals to both families in the

developed informal “buddy relationships” where they share childcare and other
family functions. Moving to another area may create a sense of isolation for these
families.
Issuing Required Notices
All Notices will be issued by certified mail and/or hand delivered. If hand delivered, residents
will be required to sign each notice signifying the receipt of it. All correspondence will be
written in plain understandable language. Persons with limited literacy will be provided

who can answer questions or provide other necessary help.
WHA will issue required notices in accordance with the URA, which may include:
❖ General Information Notice (GIN) informs the affected family of the proposed
redevelopment and they may be eligible for relocation assistance. Notice of
Eligibility (NOE) for Relocation Assistance issued to eligible families when a project
is approved by HUD for demolition/disposition. See Appendix A.
❖ 90 Days’ Notice to Vacate is issued when the relocation team has referred the family
to a comparable replacement unit that is available to the family for occupancy. See
Appendix C.
❖ If the resident has not accepted a unit within 60 days of the issuance of the 90 day
Notice, WHA may issue a 30 Days’ Notice of transfer to a suitable vacant public
housing unit. The Relocation and Mobility team will continue to work with the
resident to find a unit and avoid forced transfers or evictions.
Related Moving Assistance
WHA will cover costs associated with moving to include the following:

Relocation Destinations
A. Other Public Housing Units
The Relocation and Re-Occupancy Plan is written to ensure that the site is cleared with
minimum disruption to residents and to administer the benefits that the affected residents are
eligible to receive. This is accomplished in various ways:
As of______May______, 20, there were _____ vacant public housing units available as possible
housing units for relocation. Below is the breakdown of those vacant units by number of
bedrooms as compared to the number of units by bedroom sizes needed to rehouse the residents
moving from (Name of Development). Since the vacancy numbers fluctuate, the chart below
merely provides a snapshot in time. In addition to the available public housing units, tenant
protection vouchers will also be available for affected families.
NUMBER OF PUBLIC HOUSING VACANCIES PER BEDROOM SIZE
Number of Bedrooms Vacant Units
Efficiency (0)
One (1)
Two (2)
Three (3)
Four (4)
Six (6)
Total
BEDROOM
SIZE
EFF ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX TOTAL
The number of available units would be limited, based on the site and the priority given to
former residents of the redeveloped property.
C. Homeownership
The ROTC team will refer WHA Residents residents who would like to purchase a home to the
HCVP Homeownership Assistance Program (HOAP). As of ________, 20, zero (0) families
meet the minimum income requirement, $25,000.00, to apply for participation in WHA’s HCVP
HOAP. The program assists federal voucher holders interested in homeownership opportunities
by referring them to housing counseling agencies, credit repair programs, and other government
sponsored homeownership programs where families are able to use their voucher subsidy to
assist with mortgage payments for up to 15-years.
Tracking Residents
WHA relies on two methods of tracking, at the agency level and at the HCVP department level,
which will ensure that each resident is accounted for. The agency employs a database that
archives residents’ customer history such as contact and demographic information, family
composition, income, re-certifications etc. In addition, HCVP compiles its own internal database
that maintains current contact information, family composition and other pertinent information
relevant to their relocation/re-occupancy. This database is solely managed by HCVP’s ROTC
team and information is verified and/or updated, annually.
The information that is collected and maintained is also used to stay connected to our residents.
WHA has made a commitment to affected (Name of Development) residents to keep them
informed of development updates through organized resident meetings, steering committee
meetings, ANC meetings, formal letters, and mail-outs. As the new property comes online, WHA
will guide our families through an organized and coordinated process to ensure their return to
their new replacement unit is as seamless as possible.
Failure to Adhere to Plan
An affected resident’s refusal to accept a suitable offer of housing referrals made in accordance
with the Relocation Plan will be determined to have caused a lease violation and may be subject
to a mandatory transfer and/or eviction action. A reasonable number of offers are defined as two
(2), provided the first is turned down for a reason acceptable to WHA and in accordance with
this plan. WHA will exercise authority to ensure residents will comply with this Relocation Plan
and enable the redevelopment activities in a timely fashion. The eviction action and/or
mandatory transfer authority will only be enforced for violations pertaining to the relocation
effort. All other lease and occupancy violations will be handled under WHA’s normal eviction
procedures.
Appeal Procedure
Affected residents may file a written appeal with WHA, 1524 South 16th Street, Wilmington, NC
28401. WHA will have up to thirty-five (35) days to respond to the appeal. A person may file a
written appeal with the WHA, if the person believes WHA has failed to:
❖ Properly determine that the resident qualifies or will qualify as an affected person
who is eligible for relocation assistance;
❖ Properly determine the amount of any relocation payment required by this plan;
❖ Properly provide appropriate comparable housing referral or inspect replacement
housing in a timely manner; and
❖ Properly respond to an appeal in a timely manner.
Should a person disagree with whether they qualify as an affected or displaced person, or with
the amount of relocation assistance for which they are eligible, he/she may file a written appeal
of that determination to the Greensboro Field Office, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 1500 Pinecroft Rd #401, Greensboro, NC 27407. If the full relief is not granted,
the person has the right to seek judicial review.
Re-occupancy Criteria
The eligibility date for the Resident Return Priority for ______________ residents is
________ , 20__.
This means that any (Name of Development) resident that lived at the property on or after
January 21, 20__ is eligible to return to the newly developed property, into a public housing unit,
and receive relocation assistance to move into their new public housing replacement unit.
Included in the re-occupancy process is a series of assurances that WHA has committed to.
WHA is committed to the following:
1. 90 Days’ Notification of New Units Availability – 90 days before a unit
becomes available, which means a unit or potential units that match a
resident’s requirement for bedroom size and any other needs specific to that
family. WHA’s ROTC Team will notify the resident in writing, by phone and
by means mutually agreed upon, based on reasonable accommodations for
persons with disability. This notification will be followed up by a series of
resident workshops to ensure that the resident will be adequately prepared for
re-occupancy. Part of the ancillary services associated with this stage of the
re-occupancy process includes but is not limited to, mitigating any barriers to
re-occupancy, assistance in collecting and organizing the required application
documentation, and determination of costs associated with the move into the
new unit.
2. Application Process/Move In – During the aforementioned 90-day
notification timeframe, the Relocation team will work with the household to
coordinate the move. The Relocation team will provide households
transportation to and from the potential new units and guide families through
the selection process. In addition, a ROTC team member will be present the
day of the move to assist the family with any issues that may arise and will
provide the overall management of the move to ensure a smooth transition.
All costs associated with the relocation will be paid for by WHA. Approved
relocation fees include:
● Disconnect/Reconnect fees;
● Moving fees; and
● Any other costs associated with the physical move from the old unit
into the new unit.
Resident Return Priority
Throughout the development process there has been on-going communication with the WHA
Resident Council and residents: All residents have the right to return or be placed in a
permanent relocation units on site or at another WHA property
Implementation
Based on the resident body vote, units becoming available for occupancy will be offered to
residents in the order mentioned above. All tenant approvals are subject to the completion of the
application process, defined as the submission of a completed application and all required
supplemental documentation for tenancy has been received.
WHA’s ROTC Team will work closely with the management company at the newly redeveloped
site to ensure that all re-occupancy assurances and policies are adhered to and the Resident
Priority to Return Criteria is applied correctly and fairly as residents return to the redeveloped
site.
All applicants selected for re-entry will be required to participate in a “Resident Orientation
Session'' at which time the Community Manager will acquaint new residents with the policies,
lease requirements, house rules, housing and federal regulations, housekeeping and maintenance
procedures, resident’s rights, responsibilities and obligations. WHA is committed to the
relocation and re-occupancy of all eligible WHA residents.

once this project is complete. For this reason, after project completion, you will be contacted and offered
an opportunity to return to the newly revitalized community with a priority preference.
Remember, do not move or lease a replacement home before WHA has an opportunity to further
discuss your eligibility for relocation assistance. You will be provided written notice of the date by which
you will be required to move. This date will be no less than 90 days from the date comparable
replacement housing has been made available to you.
The enclosed HUD brochure, "Relocation Assistance To Tenants Displaced From Their Homes" provides
an explanation of this assistance and other helpful information.
Pursuant to Public Law 105-117, aliens not lawfully present in the United States are not eligible for
relocation assistance, unless such ineligibility would result in exceptional hardship to a qualifying spouse,
parent, or child. All persons seeking relocation assistance will be required to certify that they are a United
States citizen or national, or an alien lawfully present in the United States.
Please be advised that you should continue to pay your rent and meet any other obligations as specified in
your lease agreement. Failure to do so may be cause for eviction. If you choose to move or if you are
evicted prior to receiving a formal notice of relocation eligibility, you will not be eligible to receive
relocation assistance. It is important for you to contact us before making any moving plans.
Requesting Reasonable Accommodation -- WHA provides reasonable accommodations to all
applicants, residents or participants with disabilities. If you or a member of your household has a
disability and requires an accommodation to participate in any of our programs, please notify the office
providing the program or the Office of the ADA/504 Program at least 72 hours prior to the start of the
program on (910) 815-6618. Callers with a hearing impairment can call NC 211.
Sign language interpreters will be provided upon request. Please notify Casa Interpretation Services (910)
274-4607 or NC 211, or hmciver@wha.net to request a sign language interpreter. Please allow at least
three (3) business days to make the necessary arrangements.
Please be advised that you should continue to pay your rent and comply with your lease.
If you have any questions about this letter and your eligibility for relocation assistance, please contact the
ROTC Team at 910.762.9492.
