Notification in a uniform manner of persons' impending displacement; advising in layperson's terminology of legal rights and available services.
Wide dessemination of information about Certificate of Compliance - its role in property transfer, its meaning, how it is secured, and meaning of waiver.
Legislative amendment to the City Ordinance which would require that when a Certificate of Compliance is waived, all defects of the property should be listed in layperson's terminology and presented to buyer.
Offering of personalized services and compensatory housing programs of public agencies to persons being displaced by governmental actions.
Periodic independent evaluation of public agencies concerned with relocation to determine effectiveness, with results publicly reported.
