"(a) The authority, in its own behalf or on behalf of any government, may:
(1) Clear, improve, and rehabilitate property; and
(2) Plan, develop, construct, and finance [public]
housing projects."
2. By amending subsection (e) to read:
"(e) The authority may contract or sponsor with
any county, housing authority, or person, subject to the availability of funds,
[an experimental or demonstration] a housing project designed to
meet the needs of elders, disabled, displaced or homeless persons, low- and
moderate-income persons, government employees, teachers, or university and
college students and faculty."
3. By
amending subsection (f) to read:
"(f) The authority may enter into contracts with

The authority may designate any portions of the public housing development for non-subsidized housing, commercial, industrial, or other use and shall have all the powers granted under this chapter with respect thereto. The authority may use any funding authorized under this chapter to implement this subsection.
The net proceeds of all sales or leases, less costs to the authority, shall be deposited in the public housing revolving fund established by section 356D-28."
