The purpose of this Part is to promulgate rules in accordance with the following objectives:
(a) To ensure that owners of real property to be acquired for either State, Federal or federally-assisted projects are treated fairly and consistently, to encourage and expedite acquisition by agreements with such owners, to minimize litigation and relieve congestion in the courts, and to promote public confidence in State, Federal, and federally-assisted land acquisition programs.
(b) To ensure that persons displaced as a direct result of either State, Federal, or federally-assisted projects are treated fairly, consistently, and equitably so that such displaced persons will not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of projects designed for the benefit of the public as a whole.
(c) To ensure that State and Federal agencies implement these regulations in a manner that is efficient and cost effective.
(d) To ensure fair housing, open to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability or national origin.
