Section 170. General

Part IV. Relocation Advisory Services

The relocation advisory services program will be carried out so that displacees will receive uniform and consistent services and payments regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The services provided under this section are intended to assist displacees in relocating to decent, safe and sanitary housing that meets their needs. The services will be provided by personal contact. If personal contact cannot be made, the district office will document the file to show that reasonable efforts were made to achieve the personal contact.

Relocation advisory services shall be offered to:

1. Any displaced person as defined in 24VAC30-41-30.

2. Any person occupying property immediately adjacent to the real property acquired when VDOT determines that such person or persons are caused substantial economic injury because of the acquisition.

3. Any person who, as a result of the project, moves, or moves personal property from real property not being acquired for the project.
