HUD issued a notice of proposed information collection for its Relocation Options Study. Through this study HUD planned to analyze the efficacy of buyouts, relocation, and resettlement in mitigating hazard risk exposure, and will assess the possible adverse outcomes, inequities and benefits of a relocation program. The agency’s stated goal was to improve equity in the use of disaster recovery and climate mitigation funds for households that participate in buyout programs in communities that have received disaster recovery grants, including disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) and mitigation (CDBG-MIT) grants.
