If the County or the City of Joliet would undertake an activity that would result in the displacement of families or individuals, then the County/City would utilize their existing anti displacement policy, and settle agreements, for minimizing such displacement. Furthermore, the County is responsible for replacing all low- and moderate-income housing units that may be demolished or converted as a result of the use of CDBG or HOME Funds.
