The provisions of the above-mentioned sections may be applied to programs and projects undertaken without federal financial assistance.
(3) The following is the intent of the Kentucky General Assembly:

(b) Uniform procedures for the administration of relocation assistance shall, to the 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 sections; and
(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 government programs for accomplishing such goals.
