Master Relocation Plans
Experience and expertise in relocating
NMA has the experience and expertise to prepare your agency for the relocation of households when you convert your public housing portfolio to project-based vouchers or project-based rental assistance. We can develop an agency-wide relocation plan with all the information required for your developments, including forms, letters, and scripts for communication with residents, along with project schedules and inventory maps of available relocation resources.
You'll receive a master relocation plan with everything your agency needs to get started: how you're going to move your residents, in what order, and for what period of time, all fully compliant with the requirements of the federal Uniform Relocation Act (URA) and RAD regulations.
Relocation Services
We've been here before
The NMA team has extensive experience providing relocation services under the federal Uniform Relocation Act and has completed relocation of nearly 4,000 households under both Section 18 and 104(d) of the URA.
Relocation is a huge project, and NMA is equipped to handle it from start to finish. We'll address any community concerns about the relocation of low-income households and the demolition of housing units, or reluctance of long-term residents to move, with education, training, and individual assistance. This includes briefing the tenants, meeting with them one-on-one to help them feel more comfortable, and understanding their special needs for the move, then planning the move, arranging temporary housing, facilitating the moving company, and moving them back in after their unit has been rehabbed.
