Hud Housing Program

The Uniform Act, passed by Congress in 1970, is a federal law that establishes minimum standards for federally funded programs and projects that require the acquisition of real property (real estate) or displace persons from their homes, businesses, or farms. The Uniform Act's protections and assistance apply to the acquisition, rehabilitation, or demolition of real property for federal or federally funded projects. 49 CFR Part 24 is the government-wide regulation that implements the URA.

HUD Handbook 1378 provides HUD policy and guidance on implementing the URA and 49 CFR Part 24 for HUD funded programs and projects. This module covers URA requirements as they apply to HUD programs.

What are the URA's 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
