Operation of housing not for profit
Official statutory text
It is hereby declared to be the policy of this state to
accomplish the charitable and public purposes of this act that each
authority shall manage and operate its housing projects in an
efficient manner so as to enable it to fix the rentals or payments
for dwelling accommodations at low rates consistent with its
providing decent, safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations for
persons of low income and that no authority shall construct or
operate any housing project for profit, or as a source of revenue to
the city or county. To this end an authority shall fix the rentals
or payments for dwellings in its projects at no higher rates than it
shall find to be necessary in order to produce revenues which,
together with all other available monies, revenues, income and
receipts of the authority from whatever sources derived, including
Federal financial assistance necessary to maintain the low-rent
character of the project, will be sufficient:
(a) to pay, as the same become due, the principal and interest
on the bonds of the authority;
(b) to create and maintain such reserves as may be required to
assure the payment of principal and interest as it becomes due on
its bonds;
(c) to meet the cost of, and to provide for, maintaining and
operating the projects, including necessary reserves therefor and
the cost of any insurance, and the administrative expenses of the
authority; and
(d) to make such payments in lieu of taxes and, after payment in
full of all obligations for which federal annual contributions are
pledged, to make such repayments of federal and local contributions
as it determines are consistent with the maintenance of the low-rent
character of projects.
Rentals or payments for dwellings shall be established and the
projects administered, insofar as possible, so as to assure that any
federal financial assistance required shall be strictly limited to
amounts and periods necessary to maintain the low-rent character of
the projects. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the amount
an authority may charge for nondwelling facilities. All such
income, together with other income and revenue, shall be used in the
