YOUR PARTNER IN URA-COMPLIANT RELOCATION

At The Urban Group (TUG), we specialize in seamless and ethical relocation consulting for affordable housing developers and housing authorities nationwide. We understand that projects involving federal funding—whether for major rehabilitation, demolition, or acquisition—can be complex and challenging. Our mission is to navigate these complexities for you, ensuring that every relocation is handled with legal precision and human compassion.

With over 41 years of experience, we are the experts in the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (URA), as well as all its implementing regulations. Our core expertise is ensuring your project remains in full compliance.

• We specialize in 49 CFR Part 24, the URA’s primary implementing regulation, ensuring displaced tenants receive the required advisory services and financial assistance.
• We handle the unique and critical requirements of Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act, which is essential for affordable housing projects that use federal funding.
• Our consulting is designed to manage the complexities of tenant displacement caused by federally funded activities.

Our services go beyond simple compliance; we act as your strategic partner. We manage the intricate legal and ethical requirements of tenant displacement to minimize hardship for displaced residents while keeping your project on track.

• Advisory Services: We provide personalized advisory services to displaced tenants, handling all communication directly with residents.
• Tenant Interviews: We conduct one-on-one interviews with residents to understand each family’s specific housing needs and concerns.
• Housing Search: We actively help tenants find available housing options that are “decent, safe, and sanitary” while remaining affordable.
• Financial Management: We manage every detail, from determining eligibility and calculating financial assistance payments (including rental and down-payment assistance) to maintaining clear, organized documentation.
• Relocation Plan Creation: We develop a detailed relocation plan that outlines every step of the process, ensuring a clear timeline and budget.
