§ 392.063. PROJECTS FOR FARMERS OF LOW INCOME.  (a) A 
county or regional housing authority may borrow money, accept 
grants, and exercise its powers to provide housing for farmers of 
low income.
	(b)  As the authority considers necessary to assure the 
achievement of the objectives of this chapter, in connection with a 
project for farmers of low income an authority may enter into a 
lease or purchase agreement, accept a conveyance, and rent or sell 
housing that is part of the project to or for farmers of low income.  
The lease, agreement, or conveyance may include covenants that the 
authority considers appropriate regarding the housing and the land 
described in the instrument.  If the authority considers it 
necessary and on the stipulation of the parties, the covenants run 
with the land.
	(c)  The owner of a farm operated, or worked on, by farmers of 
low income in need of safe and sanitary housing may file an 
application with a county or regional housing authority requesting 
that the authority provide safe and sanitary housing for the 
farmers.  The housing authority shall consider the applications in 
connection with the formulation of projects or programs to provide 
housing for farmers of low income.
	(d)  A county or regional housing authority is not subject to 
the limitations in Subsections (c) and (d) of Section 392.055 in 
respect to housing projects for farmers of low income.
	(e)  This section does not limit other powers of a housing 
authority.
