PRP.7.12.010 Purpose

The purpose of this subchapter is to set forth the guidelines and procedures related to the temporary relocation of housing participants by the Housing Authority. These guidelines are established as a result of 49 CFR Part 24 - Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Regulations for Federal and Federally Assisted Programs (hereinafter "URA"). Prior to HUD approval for any grant, contract; or agreement requiring relocation activity under which federal funds provide financial assistance, the Housing Authority must provide a certification of compliance that it will comply with the URA. The Housing Authority will take appropriate measures to carry out the requirements contained in this policy in a manner that minimizes fraud, waste, and mismanagement. Instances of fraud and waste will be handled appropriately by the Housing Authority or referred to HUD's Office of Inspector General.
