What is URA Assistance?
The Uniform Relocation Act (URA) is a federal law that mandates relocation assistance for tenants being displaced by federally funded buyout programs. Relocation assistance could include money for moving expenses and to supplement the costs of leasing a comparable replacement dwelling. Even if you have already found a new place to live, you may qualify for this assistance. To be eligible to receive the uniform relocation assistance, the tenant must have actually and lawfully occupied the property for at least 90 days before the buyout date.
