N.Y. General Municipal Law § 970-j: Relocation of displaced persons

§ 970-j. Relocation of displaced persons. The legislative body shall

prepare a feasible plan for relocation of all families and persons to be

temporarily or permanently displaced from housing facilities in the

project area. The legislative body shall insure that such plan for the

relocation of families or single persons to be displaced by a project

shall provide that no person or family of low and moderate income shall

be displaced unless and until there is suitable housing available and

ready for occupancy by such displaced person or family at rents

comparable to those paid at the time of their displacement. Such housing

shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced person or family

including, but not limited to, access to work, adequate space and other

financial considerations and such housing must be decent, safe,

sanitary, and otherwise standard dwellings. The agency shall not

displace such person or family until such housing is available and ready

for occupancy.
