This service shall include housing anywhere within an authority's area of operation or in cooperation with any regional or State planning agency of any city, village or incorporated town wholly or partly within the area of its operation, but is not confined to housing projects of the authority. This service shall be without charge of any kind to the individuals seeking housing within their income range and shall be provided under rules promulgated by the Housing Authority.
