P.R. Laws tit. 22, § 10b
In cases of exceptional merit, concerning meager-income families whose homes or small businesses are located on easement land of a public highway to be constructed, and who show obvious incapacity for procuring for themselves lands or structures to remove to, the Secretary of Transportation and Public Works or the Highway Authority may use the funds appropriated to public highways programs in order to aid said families in speeding up their relocation.
To said effects, the Highway Authority or the Secretary of Transportation and Public Works may transfer to the Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation or to the Rural Housing Administration of the Land Authority, or to any other corporation, agency, or public instrumentality engaged in housing development, as the case may be, the necessary sums for acquiring lands for, and providing shelter or temporary or permanent lodgings to, meager-income families and small businesses which are to be displaced for the construction of public roads.
