What are relocation benefits and assistance?
There are numerous benefits available to people who are temporarily or permanently displaced by redevelopment activities. If a household or business is displaced due to redevelopment activities, business owners, homeowners and residential tenants are entitled to certain moving and relocation assistance benefits. Both state and federal laws require public entitles, including redevelopment agencies, to provide relocation benefits to guarantee that no person will be displaced without assistance in finding a new location, payments to help cover moving costs and payments for certain other costs.
