        316.8  HOUSING REPLACEMENT BY THE DISPLACING AGENCY.

         1.  If a project cannot proceed on a timely basis because
      comparable replacement dwellings are not available, and the
      displacing agency determines that such dwellings cannot otherwise be
      made available, the displacing agency may take such action as is
      necessary or appropriate to provide the dwellings by use of funds
      authorized for the program or project.  The displacing agency may let
      contracts for the construction of the dwellings, approve plans and
      specifications for the building of the dwellings, and supervise,
      inspect, and approve the dwellings once constructed in order that the
      dwellings so constructed comply with the terms and conditions of this
      chapter.  The displacing agency may under this section exceed the
      maximum amounts which may be paid under sections 316.5 and 316.6 on a
      case-by-case basis for good cause as determined in accordance with
      administrative rules adopted by the department.
         2.  A person shall not be required to move from the person's
      dwelling on or after July 1, 1971, on account of any program or
      project, unless the displacing agency is satisfied that a comparable
      replacement dwelling is available to the person.
