“How do we determine comparable housing through the uniform relocation act?”

The Uniform Relocation Act allows people to receive buyouts for their homes and move somewhere else if need be. However, before the move can happen the affected unit must be granted “comparable” housing. This means that the new place must have a similar amount and quality of bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, special features, disability accommodation, and other needs. This is why Uniform Relocation Act Comparable Housing Determination is so important.
