The Urban Group

Established in 1984, The Urban Group, Inc. is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida based community revitalization consulting firm. The Urban Groups professional platform is providing support services to public sector agencies, non-profit organizations, and private/public development consortiums using government funding. The firm undertakes work in voluntary... and involuntary real estate land acquisition projects that necessitate relocation of displaced households and businesses. Many of the firms projects use federal funding or assistance, thus primary service tasks involve administering programs where occupants become permanently or temporarily displaced. The Urban Group is a leader in implementing single event and distress residential and business redevelopment projects receiving federal assistance and/or governed by the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as Amended (Uniform Act), and the parallel HUD 104(d) program. The firm also provides tenant relocation in accordance with the Florida Mobile Home Act, Florida Statutes 723, for mobile home parks that are closing and tenants have to move or abandon their mobile homes. Locating suitable and available replacement housing resources for displaced persons in crisis events has been an essential work platform for The Urban Groups relocation team specialists. Toward this effort our inventive relocation plans connect social and health services to displaced persons creating a holistic approach to disaster spawned replacement housing activities. The firm provides appraisals for U.S. HUD, Florida Department of Transportation, Cities of West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Pembroke Pines, Margate, and Pompano Beach, Florida.Read More
