• CHAPTER 7. REPLACEMENT HOUSING PAYMENTS 90. GENERAL. This chapter describes the re- quirements governing payment for replacement housing for individuals and families displaced from a dwelling, including condominium or cooperative apartments, acquired for an ADAP/FAAP project. The displaced individual or family is not required to relocate to the same occupancy (owner or tenant) status but has other options according to his owner- ship status and tenure of occupancy as described in paragraphs 92 through 98. Eligible costs under ADAP/FAAP are limited to one replacement hous- ing payment for each dwelling unit except in the case of multifamily occupancy of a single family dwelling as shown in paragraph 91. No person being relocated in a residential move is to have a re- placement housing payment withheld or amount deducted therefrom to satisfy claims or obligations to others, including the Sponsor. 91. REPLACEMENT HOUSING PAY- MENTS —GENERAL. a. Requirement To Receive Payments. (1) In addition to the tenure of occupancy pro- visions, the displaced person is eligible for a replacement housing payment when he pur- chases and occupies a decent, safe and sani- tary dwelling within a 1-year period begin- ning on the later of the following dates: (a) The date on which the owner re- ceived from the Sponsor final pay- ment for all costs of the acquired dwelling in negotiated settlements; or in the case of condemnation, the date on which the Sponsor deposits the re- quired amount in court for the bene- fit of the owner; or (b) The date on which he is required to move by the Sponsor's written notice to vacate. (2) If the displaced person moves earlier than the date on which he is required to move, the 1-year period will begin on the date of the move. (3) A displaced person who has entered into a contract for the construction or rehabilita- tion of a replacement dwelling and, for rea- sons beyond the displaced person's reason- able control, cannot occupy the replacement dwelling within the time period shown above, shall be considered to have purchased and occupied the dwelling as of the date of such contract. The replacement housing payments under these conditions would be deferred until actual occupancy was accom- plished. b. Sponsor Inspection for Decent, Safe and Sani- tary Housing. Before making payment to the dis- placed person, the Sponsor will have inspected the replacement dwelling and determined that it meets the standards for decent, safe and sanitary housing as described in paragraph 5c. The Sponsor may utilize the services of any public agency ordinarily engaged in housing inspection to make the inspec- tion. Such determination by the Sponsor that a dwelling meets the standards for decent, safe and sanitary housing is made solely for the purpose of determining the eligibility of relocated individuals and families for replacement housing payments and is not a representation for any other purpose. c. Statement of Eligibility to Lending Agency. Where a displaced person otherwise qualifies for the replacement housing payments except that he has not yet purchased or occupied a suitable replacement dwelling, the Sponsor, after inspecting the proposed dwelling and finding that it meets the standards for decent, safe and sanitary housing will, upon the pur- chaser's request, state to any interested party, fi- nancial institution or lending agency, that the dis- placed person will be eligible for the payment of a specific sum provided he purchases and occupies the inspected dwelling within the time limits described in subparagraph a above. d. Application for Replacement Housing Pay- ments. (1) The displaced person's application for re- placement housing payments must be in writ- ing on a form provided by the Sponsor. The application should be filed no later than 6 months after the expiration of the 1-year pe- 53
