to each low /moderate- income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the
conversion of a low /moderate- income dwelling to another use as a direct result of
assisted activities.
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the City
of Pueblo will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from
their homes:

manner designed to minimize inconvenience to families expected to be relocated.
2. Provide an information program which will keep the City, and in particular, any
affected persons, advised of relocation activities on a continuing basis.
3. Assist in relocating all families and individuals into Housing that is decent,
safe and sanitary, within their financial means, in reasonably convenient locations,
and with a minimum of hardship.
