to any powers granted to it elsewhere in this act, shall have the authority to form,

purchase or assume control of one or more subsidiary corporations, in the manner and

for the purposes set forth in this section. b. The agency may form a subsidiary corporation by filing with the Secretary of State

a certificate of incorporation, which may be amended from time to time and which shall

set forth the name of the subsidiary corporation, its duration, the location of its

principal office, the joint owners thereof, and the purposes of the corporation. c. The directors of the subsidiary corporation shall be members or employees of the

agency, who shall constitute at least a majority, and such other persons representing

any joint owner or owners as may be provided for in the agreement in connection with

the incorporation. d. The subsidiary corporation shall have all the powers vested in the agency which

the agency may delegate to it by terms of the agreement of incorporation, except that

it shall not have power to contract indebtedness independently of the agency. The subsidiary corporation and any of its properties, functions and activities shall

have all the privileges, immunities, tax exemptions and other exemptions as the agency's

property, functions and activities. The subsidiary corporation shall also be subject to the restrictions and limitations

to which the agency is subject. The subsidiary corporation shall be subject to suit as if it were the agency itself. e. Whenever the State or any municipality, commission, public authority, agency, officer,

department, board, or division is authorized and empowered for any purposes of this

act to cooperate and enter into agreements with the agency or to grant any consent

to the agency or to grant, convey, lease or otherwise transfer any property to the

agency or to execute any document, the State or such municipality, commission, public

authority, agency, officer, department, board, or division shall have the same authorization

and power for any of such purposes to cooperate and enter into agreements with the

subsidiary corporation and to grant consents to the subsidiary corporation and to

grant, convey, lease or otherwise transfer property to the subsidiary corporation

and to execute documents for the subsidiary corporation. f. Among the powers that shall be granted to a subsidiary corporation established

by agency, or which may be exercised by the agency itself, are: (1) To act as receiver or interim owner of rental properties and in connection therewith

to provide tenant education and training, with the goal of achieving cooperative or

other private forms of resident ownership. (2) To act as a housing service corporation to operate or complete the construction

of agency-financed properties. (3) To undertake acquisition, construction, rehabilitation and operation of housing

loan from the agency. g. The agency shall establish at least one subsidiary corporation pursuant to this

section, unless the agency shall, by resolution setting forth the reasons for its

decision, determine that such establishment would be inexpedient, which resolution

shall be forthwith communicated to the Governor and the Legislature.
