What are the URA Objectives –To provide uniform, fair and equitable treatment of persons whose real property is acquired or who are displaced in connection with federally funded projects –To ensure relocation assistance is provided to displaced persons to lessen the emotional and financial impact of displacement –To ensure that no individual or family is displaced unless decent, safe, and sanitary (DSS) housing is available within the displaced person's financial means –To help improve the housing conditions of displaced persons living in substandard housing –To encourage and expedite acquisition by agreement and without coercion
How do URA requirements impact your project? Agencies conducting a program or project under the URA must carry out their legal responsibilities to affected property owners and displaced persons.

Involuntary Acquisition Involuntary Property is dilapidated and blighting the neighborhood Property owner not willing or unable to make repairs Specific property needed for another purpose e. g. easements Property owner is not willing to sell
Voluntary Acquisition Voluntary Property is dilapidated and blighting the neighborhood Property owner not willing or unable to make repairs You have a willing seller Selling price is fair and reasonable
Some of those responsibilities include: For Residential Displacements –Provide relocation advisory services to displaced tenants and owner occupants –Provide a minimum 90 days written notice to vacate prior to requiring possession –Reimburse for moving expenses –Provide payments for the added cost of renting or purchasing comparable replacement housing
