(A)

The rules in this section specify how NHCD uses fees for tenant relocation assistance (provided by applicants) consistent with the requirements of City Code § 25-1-715 ( Tenant Relocation Assistance - Developer Funded ).

(B)

If the land use approval that requires payment of a tenant relocation fee under City Code § 25-1-715 ( Tenant Relocation Assistance - Developer Funded ) is granted, the funds will be disbursed on behalf of eligible low-income tenants consistent with the Tenant Relocation Assistance Program Guidelines developed by the director of the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office and City Code § 25-1-715(B). The funds will be disbursed only to eligible low-income tenants being displaced from the development or site for which the payment was made, consistent with requirements of City Code § 25-1-714 ( Tenant Relocation Program ).

(C)

The maximum amount that an applicant may be required to pay to cover eligible expenses for income-eligible tenant households will be determined based on the results of a nexus study and will be included in the fee presented to City Council for adoption.
