In sum, appellees qualify as “displaced persons” within the plain terms of the notice clause. This common sense interpretation is reinforced by consideration of the policies of the Relocation Act. A basic purpose of the Act is to ensure that displaced persons do not “suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs designed for the benefit of the public as a whole.”26 Equally important, by providing relocation benefits for persons displaced by programs or projects for the general welfare, the Act ensures that federal officials take the costs of relocation into account before embarking on such programs.
