The URA is a federal law designed to help individuals displaced by federally funded projects, offering financial assistance for moving, rent differentials, and other related costs. For Houston residents forced to leave apartments that were repeatedly flooded, the law promises a lifeline. However, many former tenants of the four affected apartment complexes have not received the funds they’re entitled to.

“They’re going to tear those down and make sure that those are areas of green space for flooding,” Eck said. “But those individuals that lived in these apartment complexes were owed that relocation assistance.”Despite extensive outreach efforts, including partnerships with local pastors, food banks, and school districts, the GLO has struggled to locate around 400 displaced residents.
