2021 Georgia Code|Title 8 - Buildings and Housing|Chapter 3 - Housing Generally|Article 1 - Housing Authorities|Part 5 - Regional Housing Authorities|§ 8-3-100. Procedure for Creating an Authority

 If the governing body of each of two or more contiguous counties by resolution declares that there is a need for one housing authority to be created for all of such counties to exercise in such counties powers and other functions prescribed for a regional housing authority, a public body corporate and politic to be known as a regional housing authority shall thereupon exist for all of such counties and shall exercise its powers and other functions in such counties. Thereupon, each county housing authority created for each of such counties shall cease to exist except for the purpose of winding up its affairs and executing a deed to the regional housing authority as provided in this part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code section to the contrary, the governing body of a county shall not adopt a resolution as aforesaid if there is a county housing authority created for such county which has any bonds or notes outstanding unless, first, all holders of such bonds and notes consent in writing to the substitution of such regional housing authority in lieu of such county housing authority on all such bonds and notes, and, second, the commissioners of such county housing authority adopt a resolution consenting to the transfer of all rights, contracts, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority to such regional housing authority as provided in this part. When the above two conditions are complied with and such regional housing authority is created and authorized to exercise its powers and other functions, all rights, contracts, agreements, obligations, and property, real and personal, of such county housing authority shall be in the name of and vest in such regional housing authority; and all obligations of such county housing authority shall be the obligations of such regional housing authority; and all rights and remedies of any person against such county housing authority may be asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such regional housing authority to the same extent as they might have been asserted, enforced, and prosecuted against such county housing authority.   (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6; Ga. L. 1951, p. 127, § 1; Ga. L. 1959, p. 141, § 1; Ga. L. 1962, p. 734, § 1.)   OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL   Operation of regional authority renders county authority obsolete.    - It is clear from the language of Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6 (see now O.C.G.A. § 8-3-100) that any county authority within the area of operation of a regional authority must cease to operate upon the establishment of the regional authority. 1950-51 Op.

 When any real property of a county housing authority vests in a regional housing authority as provided in Code Section 8-3-100, the county housing authority shall execute a deed of such property to the regional housing authority, which thereupon shall file such deed in the office provided for the filing of deeds, provided that nothing contained in this Code section shall affect the vesting of property in the regional housing authority as provided in Code Section 8-3-100.

  The governing body of each of two or more contiguous counties may by resolution declare that there is a need for one regional housing authority to be created for all such counties to exercise in such counties powers and other functions prescribed for a regional housing authority, only if such governing body finds:   That insanitary or unsafe inhabited dwelling accommodations exist in such county or there is a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations in such county available to persons of low income at rentals they can afford; and   That a regional housing authority would be a more efficient or economical administrative unit than the housing authority of such county.     In determining whether dwelling accommodations are unsafe or insanitary, the governing body of a county shall take into consideration the safety and sanitation of dwellings, the light and air space available to the inhabitants of such dwellings, the degree of overcrowding, the size and arrangement of the rooms, and the extent to which conditions which endanger life or property by fire or other causes exist in such dwellings.

 The governing body of a county shall not adopt any resolution authorized by Code Sections 8-3-100, 8-3-102, and 8-3-104 unless a public hearing has first been held. The clerk of such county shall give notice of the time, place, and purpose of the public hearing at least ten days prior to the day on which the hearing is to be held. Such notice shall be given by publication in a newspaper published in such county or, if there is no newspaper published in such county, in a newspaper published in the state and having a general circulation in such county. Upon the date fixed for such public hearing, an opportunity to be heard shall be granted to all residents of such county and to all other interested persons.   (Ga. L. 1943, p. 146, § 6.)

 In any suit, action, or proceeding involving the validity or enforcement of or relating to any contract of the regional housing authority, the regional housing authority shall be conclusively deemed to have become created as a public body corporate and politic and to have become established and authorized to transact business and exercise its powers under this part upon proof of the adoption of a resolution by the governing body of each of the counties creating the regional housing authority declaring the need for the regional housing authority. Each such resolution shall be deemed sufficient if it declares that there is need for the regional housing authority and finds in substantially such terms as appear in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of Code Section 8-3-102, no further detail being necessary, that the conditions enumerated in those paragraphs exist.
