The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 was enacted to ensure "that people whose real property is acquired, or who move as a direct result of projects receiving Federal funds, are treated fairly and equitably and receive assistance in moving from the property they occupy." The objectives of the act are to ensure that "relocation assistance is provided to displaced persons to lessen the emotional and financial impact of displacement; and 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" (www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/affordablehousing/training/web/relocation/overview.cfm) .
