§ 24-56-107 — Assurance of availability of standard housing

Colorado § 24-56-107

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 24: Government
• Art.: Relocation Assistance and Land Acquisition Policies

Text

(1) Whenever a
displacing agency acquires real property for a program or project for which federal
financial assistance will be available to pay all or any part of the cost of the
program or project and such acquisition will result in the displacement of any
person, upon recommendation or approval of the displacing agency, such agency
shall assure that a person shall not be required to move from a dwelling unless the
person has had a reasonable opportunity to relocate to a comparable replacement
dwelling; except that regulations issued pursuant to section 24-56-108 may
prescribe situations when these assurances may be waived.

(2) If a program or project for which federal financial assistance is available
cannot proceed to actual construction because comparable replacement sale or
rental housing is not available and the state agency determines that such housing
cannot otherwise be made available, upon recommendation or approval of the
displacing agency, the state agency may take such action as is necessary or
appropriate to provide such housing by use of funds authorized for such project.
The displacing agency may use this section to exceed the maximum amounts which
can be paid by a displacing agency under sections 24-56-104 and 24-56-105 on a
case-by-case basis for good cause shown as determined in accordance with
regulations issued pursuant to section 24-56-108.
