8-3-33. Contracts and agreements with federal government to obtain federal contributions to housing projects

(a) In any contract or amendatory or superseding contract for a loan and annual contributions heretofore or hereafter entered into between a housing authority and the federal government with respect to any housing project undertaken by said housing authority, the authority is authorized to make such covenants (including covenants with holders of bonds issued by the authority for purposes of the project involved) and to confer upon the federal government such rights and remedies as the authority deems necessary to assure the fulfillment of the purposes for which the project was undertaken.

(b) In any contract with the federal government for annual contributions to an authority, the authority may obligate itself to convey to the federal government possession of or title to the project to which such contract relates, upon the occurrence of a substantial default, as defined in such contract, with respect to the covenants or conditions to which the authority is subject. Such obligation shall be specifically enforceable and shall not constitute a mortgage, any other laws notwithstanding.

(c) Any contract with the federal government for annual contributions to an authority may further provide that in case of a conveyance pursuant to subsection (b) of this Code section, the federal government may complete, operate, manage, lease, convey, or otherwise deal with the project in accordance with the terms of such contract.

(d) Any contract entered into pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section shall require that, as soon as practicable after the federal government is satisfied that all defaults with respect to the project have been cured and that the project will thereafter be operated in accordance with the terms of the contract, the federal government shall reconvey to the authority the project as then constituted.
