§1584 Removal of all dwelling structures on land under Secretary’s control; temporary housing exempted; preference in fulfilling vacancies

Summary

HUD must manage temporary housing on land it controls this way. After July 1, 1953, empty units can only be filled by moving in tenants from other nearby units that are also being removed. By March 31, 1954, HUD must tell all tenants to leave before July 1, 1954. After July 1, 1954, HUD must start eviction actions against anyone still living there. Once units are empty, HUD must remove or tear down the buildings as soon as practical. If a transfer request under section 1581 has an extension under section 1581(c), the dates above are extended by the same amount. There are exceptions. The rules do not apply in towns where more than 30% of the people (counted on December 31, 1948, using the 1940 census) lived in U.S. temporary family housing, or where the local government passed the resolution under section 1582(c), or where a section 1581(b) request stalled only because the applicant could not get the landowner’s right to possession on reasonable terms. When filling vacancies in such housing, the preference rules in section 1581(d)(1) apply. The rules also do not apply to housing set aside before this law for veterans in school if the school shows an urgent need, says it tried to find other housing, and agrees to repay HUD for losses after June 30, 1951.
