Relocation of Families for Public Improvement Projects: Lessons from Baltimore
The U.S. Congress passed the Uniform Relocation Act (P.L. 91-646) in 1970 to minimize the adverse impacts of displacement on individuals and on communities. Based on data from Baltimore, Maryland, this article tests the thesis that the act has achieved its two main goals. The first goal was to move households into decent and affordable housing. The second was to move households into comparable if not more desirable neighborhoods and, in the process, to promote racial integration and “deconcentrate” the ghetto. The study concludes that Baltimore has met both goals only partially.
