housing relocation undertaking/commitment
Explanation:
See following ref.

"East-West Expressway
Environmental Impact Study
North Carolina
Department of Transportation

The situation in this case was difficult from the beginning -- property acquisition and housing relocation are among the most politically and emotionally charged aspects of large transportation projects. Moreover, the history of this project encompassed eras of highway construction and urban renewal that were significantly detrimental to Durham's African-American population."

Hi Lee!
I think this is what they mean, if they're going to be putting people out of their homes because of the project.
Luck!

Another possibility might be \"resettlement compensation or indemnity\"----or one I just found in the Oxford Superlex also:
indemnización por desplazamiento = relocation allowance.
Luck!
