Abstract
In the United States, government policy expressly attempts to make the consequences of forced relocation due to federal projects uniform and fair for all relocatees. Congress originally attempted to achieve the goal of similar consequences through the provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, popularly titled the Uniform Relocation Act. These policies were confirmed and strengthened by Amendments to the Act in 1987 (Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance-Act of 1987, PL 100-17, Title IV), which state that relocation assistance policies must provide for fair, uniform, and equitable treatment of relocatees and must minimize adverse impact of displacement to maintain the economic and social well-being of communities. The Amendments also state that relocatees shall not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs designed to benefit the public as a whole.
