A community housing development corporation may qualify for assistance under section 8-218 provided: (1) It shall be organized for purposes other than to make a profit or gain for itself and shall not be controlled or directed by persons or firms seeking to derive profit or gain therefrom; (2) it shall be organized to finance, acquire, construct or rehabilitate housing as defined in this section; (3) except for any corporation specially chartered by the General Assembly, it shall be designated by the governing body of a municipality or by a joint resolution of the governing bodies of two or more municipalities to enter into contracts with the state as provided for in section 8-218. Any municipality which has designated any such corporation pursuant to a joint resolution with any other municipality may, at any time, rescind such designation, provided no such rescission shall affect any projects actually under construction or contract. As used in this section and section 8-218, “housing” means dwelling units, and includes any incidental commercial units located on the first floor of any multistory mixed use building, acquired, constructed or rehabilitated and sold or leased under any provisions of any statute of the United States or this state which restricts ownership or occupancy to families or individuals whose incomes do not exceed limits prescribed by such statute or by regulatory agreement.
(1967, P.A. 522, S. 20; 1969, P.A. 683, S. 1; P.A. 77-483, S. 1; P.A. 81-126, S. 1; 81-133.)
History: 1969 act deleted requirement that housing development corporation be “organized as a nonstock corporation pursuant to chapter 600”, excluded corporations specially chartered by legislature from provision concerning contracts with state and redefined “housing” by substituting “dwelling units” for “housing” and by deleting references to federal Housing Acts of 1937 and 1961; P.A. 77-483 amended Subdiv. (2) to require corporation to “be organized to” provide housing; P.A. 81-126 included incidental commercial units in definition of housing, and required corporation to be organized to “finance, acquire, construct or rehabilitate” housing rather than to “provide” housing; P.A. 81-133 provided for joint action by two or more municipalities.
