40 U.S.C. § 6714: Relocation services

Summary

The Administrator of General Services may use the District of Columbia government’s help to run a relocation program under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.). The Administrator must pay D.C. for those costs. Any relocation work must be coordinated with the District’s central relocation programs. If an owner or tenant loses a home or business because property is taken under this subchapter or under the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation Act of 1972 (Public Law 92–578, 86 Stat. 1266), they get first priority to lease or buy similar property from the Administrator when it becomes available for a like use. That right is only for the affected person and cannot be transferred.
