Sec. 2. Any housing authority may apply to the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for the grant of a sum from the amount to be appropriated for this Act to develop housing projects pursuant to the "Housing Authorities Act", approved March 19, 1934, as amended, to facilitate and aid in the rehousing of persons eligible for tenancy under said Act residing in the site of a redevelopment project who could not otherwise be rehoused in decent, safe and uncongested dwelling accommodations within their financial reach.
Upon a showing of need of a grant from the amount appropriated for this Act and that the sum so granted will be satisfactorily employed by the housing authority in the development of housing projects for the purposes authorized by this Act, the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall transmit to the State Comptroller a statement of approval and of the amount of the grant, and when the municipality has paid to the housing authority an amount at least equal to the amount of the approved grant, the Comptroller shall pay the amount of the approved grant to the housing authority from the appropriation for grants under this Act. The amount so granted together with the amount contributed by the city, village or incorporated town in which the redevelopment project is situated shall be deposited in a separate fund and shall be applied only to the planning, acquisition, development, and capital improvements of the approved housing project or projects for the purposes authorized by this Act and the Housing Authorities Act. The expenditure of any moneys from such separate fund and the location of the rehousing project or projects shall be subject to the approval of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the governing body of the municipality in which the redevelopment project is located.
