rehousing

Moving people elsewhere

Rehousing is the process of moving people into new or different housing, typically when their current homes are being demolished, renovated, or deemed uninhabitable.

Governments and housing authorities manage rehousing during urban renewal projects or after disasters: The city promised rehousing for all displaced tenants before demolition begins.
