News on the tenant relocation program

In an update to the city’s tenant relocation program, Housing and Planning Department Director Rosie Truelove said a solicitation for tenant relocation services has been released and a solicitation for a nexus study is in the works. This year’s budget includes $700,000 to fund the program, but implementation is still underway. Though the ordinance creating the program was approved in 2016, it stipulated funding through development fees, which is not allowed under state law. In 2022, City Council amended the ordinance to explicitly include interior renovation notice requirements.
