§ 43-39-16. Agency to provide replacement dwellings if none available; persons not required to move if replacement dwellings unavailable.
(1) If a program or project undertaken by an agency with public financial assistance cannot proceed on a timely basis because comparable replacement dwellings are not available, and the head of the displacing agency determines that such dwellings cannot otherwise be made available, the head of the displacing agency may take such action as is necessary or appropriate to provide such dwellings by use of funds authorized for such project. The head of the displacing agency may use this section to exceed the maximum amounts which may be paid under Sections 43-39-9 and 43-39-11, on a case-by-case basis for good cause as determined in accordance with such regulations as the head of the agency issues.
(2) No person shall be required to move from his dwelling on account of any program or project undertaken by a displacing agency with public financial assistance unless the head of the displacing agency is satisfied that comparable replacement housing is available to such person.
