In order to prevent unnecessary expenses and duplications of functions, and to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs for displaced persons, the displacing agency may enter into contracts with any individual, firm, association, or corporation for services in connection with the programs, or may carry out its functions through any governmental agency, political subdivision, or instrumentality having an established organization for conducting relocation assistance programs. If practicable, the services of state or local housing agencies, or other agencies having experience in the administration or conduct of similar housing assistance activities shall be used.
