Your Right to Return 

All residents who are temporarily relocated as part of the 519 E. Main and Liberty Street redevelopment have the right to return to the site when new units become available. You won’t be required to undergo any additional screening and you won’t be asked to pay more in rent. Your rent will still be based on 30% of your household income.

To be eligible to return, you must remain compliant with your lease while living in DHA properties. This includes paying rent on time, completing annual recertifications and following rules about conduct in DHA properties. If you use a Tenant Protection Voucher to rent a unit on the private market, you are also expected to stay current on your portion of the rent and to follow your landlord’s rules of conduct.

Since redevelopment of 519 E. Main and Liberty Street is being completed in phases, replacement units will be available in phases as well, not all at once. As replacement units become available, DHA will reach out to relocated residents to inquire if they wish to return to the new units. Residents will be contacted in the following order:

1. Residents relocated in Phase 2 of Demolition/Relocation (Commerce Street)
2. Residents relocated in Phase 3 of Demolition/Relocation (Dillard Street)
3. Residents relocated in Phase 4 of Demolition/Relocation (Main Street)
4. Residents who voluntarily moved offsite prior to the start of relocation

All original residents will have the opportunity to return to the redeveloped site if they choose to do so.  You can also choose to stay in your temporary housing, which will then become permanent.  This applies both to residents who relocated to other DHA properties and to residents using Tenant Protection Vouchers.
