M.5. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act

of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA).^[176] Property owners participating in FEMA-funded property acquisition and structure demolition or relocation projects are not entitled to relocation benefits because the voluntary program meets URA exceptions.^[177] However, any displaced person as defined by 42 U.S.C. § 4601(6) (such as a displaced tenant), who is temporarily or permanently displaced from their home or business as a direct result of a HMA-funded project, is entitled to compensation in accordance with 49 CFR Part 24. Costs incurred to meet URA requirements are eligible and should be included in the subapplication budget. The URA requirements detailed under the acquisition project type in Part 12 provide additional information. These requirements apply to all project types where acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition is involved.
