If the Authority, by resolution, shall determine that a rental project is required for any area of the State and there is no housing sponsor capable of undertaking the acquisition, construction and operation of such rental project over its predetermined useful life under conditions assuring that it will provide decent, safe and sanitary housing accommodations for members of the beneficiary class intended to be assisted by the program undertaken pursuant to the authorizations of this chapter and at rentals commensurate with the financial capabilities of those within the beneficiary class, and that as a result of such circumstances the need in the particular area for decent, safe and sanitary rental housing accommodations at appropriate rentals cannot be met, then in such instances, the Authority may, upon the approval of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority, borrow the required money from any source, to acquire and cause to be constructed the required rental project, and thereafter to operate such project throughout its useful life. If the approval of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority is obtained, the provisions of Act 500 of 1971 relating to certain approvals, as specified in Section 31-3-150 which was added pursuant to that act, by local housing authorities of certain activities of the Authority shall be inapplicable. But, at any time during the operation of the project, the Authority may sell and convey it to a housing sponsor under conditions that will insure the continued operation of the project for the benefit of the intended beneficiary class.

To that end, the Authority may impose conditions upon any grantee requiring the continued operation of the project under appropriate conditions, including reversion of provisions in any deed of conveyance, to insure the intended result.

HISTORY: 1977 Act No. 76, Section 7.
