Urban renewal does not follow one universal federal rule for historic preservation, accessibility, or resident relocation. Which requirements apply depends on the project’s federal funding or approvals, its housing program, the building and services involved, and state and local law. For residents, the practical starting point is to identify the project’s funding and program, then ask for its relocation plan, preservation-review records, and accessibility information.
What happens to residents during urban renewal?
Residents may face a temporary move while a property is renovated, or permanent displacement if the project changes or replaces their homes. The notices, assistance, housing options, and any right to return depend on the project’s funding and governing program; there is no single benefit package that applies to every renewal project.

Certain Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Urban Development Action Grant (UDAG), and HOME program activities are also subject to Section 104(d), and individual program rules may add requirements. HUD’s regulation describes the programs covered by these provisions in 24 CFR Part 42.
Those references identify a framework, not a resident’s exact eligibility or payment amount. To understand a particular move, find out whether it is temporary or permanent, which funding and program rules govern the project, and what notices and relocation plan apply. Do not assume that every resident receives the same assistance or can return to the redeveloped property.

Do residents have a right to return after redevelopment?
Not as a universal rule for all urban renewal. A right to return may arise under a specific program or project commitment, but the general federal relocation framework does not justify promising that every displaced resident can return.
One defined example is HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). In the covered RAD conversion context, relocation related to acquisition, new construction, or rehabilitation is subject to the URA, and permanent involuntary displacement may not result from the conversion. If project plans would prevent a resident from returning, the RAD notice provides an opportunity to comment or object and requires the owner to alter the plans to accommodate a resident who objects. If a resident agrees to permanent relocation, the owner must obtain informed written consent and explain the resident’s return right and housing options at least 30 days before the resident decides. These are specific RAD protections, not a blanket rule for every redevelopment. See HUD’s RAD implementation notice.

What is Section 106 review?
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to consider effects on historic properties when they carry out, fund, assist, permit, license, or approve a qualifying undertaking. It requires consideration and consultation before federal funds are approved or a license is issued; it does not guarantee that a property will be preserved unchanged or that a project will be stopped.

The review can cover properties already listed in the National Register of Historic Places and properties that are eligible for listing. A federally funded rehabilitation of homes in a historic neighborhood, for example, may be subject to review. The National Park Service explains the federal framework through its Section 106 Compliance Program.
The usual process has four broad stages:
- Initiate consultation. The responsible federal agency starts the review and identifies the parties to consult. Depending on the project, these may include the State or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO or THPO), tribes, local governments, applicants, and the public.
- Define the area of potential effects and identify historic properties. The review considers where the undertaking could affect historic properties and identifies properties that are listed or eligible for listing.
- Assess effects. The agency determines whether the project may affect those properties and whether any effects are adverse.
- Resolve adverse effects where applicable. The parties seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects. An agreement may document how those effects will be resolved.
Because Section 106 is connected to project planning and federal approvals, starting consultation early can help identify potential conflicts while plans are still being developed. The process gives the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation an opportunity to comment. After considering effects, a federal agency may proceed, modify the project, or decide not to undertake it; Section 106 itself does not give an individual resident a veto.
Does a historic building have to be accessible?
Historic designation does not automatically remove accessibility obligations. The applicable duties depend in part on whether the building is a place of public accommodation or commercial facility covered by Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or whether it houses a state or local government program covered by Title II.
For covered Title III alterations, the regulation says that historic buildings eligible for National Register listing or designated historic under state or local law must comply with the ADA to the maximum extent feasible. If physical access cannot be provided without threatening or destroying historic significance, alternative methods of access are required. The rule appears in the ADA accessibility standards resource from the U.S. Access Board; the regulatory language is at 28 CFR § 36.405(a).

For public entities, Title II requires program accessibility. A government service located in a historic property is not automatically excused because the building has historic features. Effective ways to provide access can include assigning services to an accessible building, making home visits, serving people at another accessible site, or altering a facility. The special historic-property limitation is narrow: it concerns programs whose primary purpose is historic preservation. The governing regulation is in 28 CFR Part 35.
The practical question is therefore not simply whether a building is historic. It is what type of entity or service is involved, whether the work is a new construction or an alteration, which feature would be affected, and how the entity can provide access. The Access Board advises consulting the SHPO when an entity believes an accessible route, entrance, or toilet facility would threaten historic significance. A feature-specific limitation does not erase a public entity’s broader program-access obligation.
Can accessibility changes damage historic features?
They can affect significant features, which is why the rules call for context-sensitive decisions rather than an automatic exemption or a one-size-fits-all design. For covered Title III alterations, the standard is compliance to the maximum extent feasible; if physical access would threaten or destroy historic significance, alternative access methods apply. For a government program, a different effective way of delivering the service may satisfy program access even if a particular feature cannot be altered.
Project teams should identify the affected historic features and accessibility needs early, and consult the relevant preservation officer when a historic-significance concern arises. The review should distinguish between a constraint on a particular route, entrance, or facility and the obligation to provide accessible service overall. The Access Board’s ADA standards page is a neutral starting point for the standards reference; the appropriate requirements still depend on the project and the entity involved.

How can residents tell which rules apply to a project?
Start with the project’s funding, approvals, housing program, and the kind of move or building work proposed. Those facts help separate overlapping requirements that can otherwise sound like one general “urban renewal rule.”
- Identify the federal connection. Ask whether a federal agency is carrying out, funding, assisting, permitting, licensing, or approving the undertaking. A qualifying federal nexus can trigger Section 106 review and may involve other federal requirements.
- Identify the housing program and funding. Ask whether the project is HUD-assisted, and whether it uses CDBG, UDAG, or HOME funds. HUD assistance generally invokes URA requirements; specified programs also invoke Section 104(d), and a particular program may add rules.
- Clarify the move. Ask whether the relocation is temporary or permanent, whether the resident is being asked to agree to a permanent move, and what the project says about return. Do not treat a RAD-specific protection as applying unless the project is in that covered context.
- Clarify the building and service. Ask whether the space is a public accommodation or commercial facility, or whether it houses a government service; whether the work is new construction or an alteration; and which historic feature is at issue.
- Check local and state requirements. Preservation, accessibility, tenant, and relocation rules may vary by jurisdiction. A federal overview cannot determine what a particular city or state requires.
For a project-specific answer, request the governing grant or loan documents, relocation plan, Section 106 consultation record, accessibility assessment, and applicable state or local rules. These records can reveal which program applies, which agency is responsible, what consultations or notices have occurred, and whether a stated right or benefit comes from a regulation, project commitment, or local law.

What should project teams plan for?
Preservation, access, and relocation are connected planning issues, but they are not interchangeable. A preservation consultation does not resolve accessibility duties or resident relocation, and a relocation plan does not establish that historic review is complete. Project teams should identify each applicable process on its own terms, then coordinate schedules and design decisions.
- For preservation: determine whether there is a federal undertaking and begin Section 106 consultation early enough to inform planning. Identify listed and eligible properties, assess effects, and document how any adverse effects will be addressed.
- For accessibility: determine whether Title II or Title III applies, identify the applicable alteration or program-access duties, and evaluate the specific features at issue. A historic feature should not be treated as a blanket waiver.
- For relocation: identify the funding and program rules before explaining resident eligibility, notices, comparable housing, payments, appeals, or return. Make the distinction between temporary relocation and permanent displacement clear in communications.
- For communication: explain which rules are established by law, which are project-specific commitments, and which questions depend on state or local requirements. Do not promise a benefit or outcome until the governing documents support it.
Urban renewal projects can involve several agencies, owners, and funding sources. A clear written account of the project’s federal nexus, housing program, relocation terms, preservation review, and accessibility approach gives residents a more reliable basis for understanding what will happen than a broad assurance that “federal rules” apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Section 106 stop an urban renewal project?
Section 106 requires consideration of effects and consultation, but it does not itself require project cancellation or give an individual resident a veto. After considering the effects, the federal agency may proceed, change the project, or decide not to undertake it.
Does a property have to be listed in the National Register for Section 106 to apply?
No. The review can include properties eligible for National Register listing as well as properties already listed. Whether Section 106 applies also depends on a qualifying federal undertaking, not historic status alone.
Can residents take part in Section 106 consultation?
The public may take part depending on the project, alongside parties such as preservation officers, tribes, local governments, and applicants. The responsible agency and project record can clarify how public participation is being handled in a particular review.
