(a) KRS 56.620, 56.690 and 56.740 shall be carried out in a manner which

minimizes waste, fraud and mismanagement and reduces unnecessary

administrative costs borne in providing relocation assistance;

maximum extent feasible, assure that the unique circumstances of any

displaced person are taken into account and that persons in essentially similar

circumstances are accorded equal treatment under the above-mentioned

(c) The improvement of housing conditions of economically disadvantaged

persons under the above-mentioned sections shall be undertaken, to the

maximum extent feasible, in coordination with existing federal, state and local
