(1) Determine, and make timely recommendations on, the need and preferences, if any, of displaced persons, for relocation assistance.
(2) Assure that, within a reasonable period of time, prior to displacement there will be available a comparable replacement dwelling.
(3) Supply information concerning federal and state housing programs, disaster loan programs, and other federal or state programs offering assistance to displaced persons.
(4) Provide other advisory services to displaced persons in order to minimize hardships to the person in adjusting to relocation.
