AUTHORITY OF STATE AGENCY WHERE REPLACEMENT HOUSING NOT AVAILABLE; REQUIRING
PERSON TO MOVE (§ 25.1-414)

A. If a program or project undertaken by a state agency cannot proceed to actual
construction on a timely basis because comparable replacement dwellings are not
available, and the state agency determines that such dwellings cannot otherwise
be made available, the state agency may take such action as is necessary or
appropriate to provide such dwellings by use of funds authorized for such
project. The state agency may use this section to exceed the maximum amounts
that may be paid under &#xA7;&#xA7; 25.1-409 and 25.1-410 on a case-by-case
basis for good cause as determined in accordance with such regulations as the
state agency shall issue.

B. No person shall be required to move from his dwelling on account of any
project, unless the head of the state agency is satisfied that comparable
replacement housing is available to such person.
