1. If a program or project undertaken by a displacing agency 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
displacing agency may use this section to exceed the maximum amounts that may be
paid under sections 54-01.1-04 and 54-01.1-05 on a case-by-case basis for good
cause as determined in accordance with section 54-01.1-08 regulations issued by the
state agency.
2. No person may be required to move from a dwelling on account of any program or
project undertaken by the displacing agency unless the displacing agency is satisfied
that comparable replacement housing is available to the person.
3. The displacing agency shall assure that a person will not be required to move from a
dwelling unless the person has had a reasonable opportunity to relocate to a
comparable replacement dwelling, except in the case of:
a. A major disaster as defined in section 102(2) of the Federal Disaster Relief Act of
1974;
b. A national emergency declared by the president; or
c. Any other emergency that requires the person to move immediately from the
dwelling because continued occupancy of the dwelling by the person constitutes
a substantial danger to the health or safety of the person.
