7260.5. (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Displacement as a direct result of programs or projects undertaken by a public entity is caused by a number of activities, including rehabilitation, demolition, code enforcement, and acquisition.
(2) Relocation assistance policies must provide for fair, uniform, and equitable treatment of all affected persons.
(3) The displacement of businesses often results in their closure.
(4) Minimizing the adverse impact of displacement is essential to maintaining the economic and social well-being of communities.
(5) Implementation of this chapter has resulted in burdensome, inefficient, and inconsistent compliance requirements and procedures which may be improved by establishing a lead agency.
(b) This chapter establishes a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced as a direct result of programs or projects undertaken by a public entity. The primary purpose of this chapter is to ensure that these persons shall not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs and projects designed for the benefit of the public as a whole and to minimize the hardship of displacement on these persons.
(c) The Legislature intends all of the following:
(1) Public entities shall carry out this chapter in a manner which minimizes waste, fraud, and mismanagement and reduces unnecessary administrative costs.
(2) Uniform procedures for the administration of relocation assistance shall, to the maximum extent feasible, assure that the unique circumstances of any displaced person are taken into account and that persons in essentially similar circumstances are accorded equal treatment under this chapter.
(3) The improvement of housing conditions of economically disadvantaged persons under this chapter shall be undertaken, to the maximum extent feasible, in coordination with existing federal, state, and local government programs for accomplishing these goals.
(4) The policies and procedures of this chapter shall be administered in a manner which is consistent with fair housing requirements and which assures all persons their rights under Title VIII of that act of April 11, 1968 (Public Law 90-284), commonly known as the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

(a) The project is a “qualified affordable housing preservation project,” which means any complex of two or more units whose owners enter into a recorded regulatory agreement, having a term for the useful life of the project, with any entity for the provision of project rehabilitation financing. For this purpose, the regulatory agreement shall require of the owner and all successors and assigns of the owner, as long as the regulatory agreement is in effect, that at least 49 percent of the tenants in the project have, at the time of the recordation of the regulatory agreement, incomes not in excess of 60 percent of the area median income, adjusted by household size, as determined by the appropriate agency of the state. In addition, a project is a qualified affordable housing preservation project only if the beneficiary of the regulatory agreement elects this designation by so indicating on the regulatory agreement.
(b) The resident is offered the right to return to his or her original unit, or a comparable unit in the same complex if his or her original unit is not otherwise available due to the rehabilitation, with rent for the first 12 months subsequent to that return being the lower of the following: up to 5 percent higher than the rent at the time of displacement; or up to 30 percent of household income.
