§396. Area of operation of local housing authority established by municipality
A. In the case of a local housing authority established by a municipality, the authority's area of operation shall be the municipality and the area within ten miles from the territorial boundaries thereof. Depending upon the geographical location of the municipality, such area of operation may include portions of one or more parishes. It may also include areas lying within the territorial boundaries of municipalities outside the municipality establishing the local housing authority. In order to resolve territorial conflicts, the following rules shall apply:
(1)In the case of the local housing authority's home parish, it may operate outside of the area described in this Section in the unincorporated areas of the home parish only with the permission of the governing authority.
(2)In the case of incorporated areas of the home parish, the local housing authority may operate within the territorial boundaries thereof only by consent of such other municipality and its local housing authority, if any.
(3)In the case of unincorporated portions of parishes other than the local housing authority's home parish, it may operate only with the consent of the governing body of the parish, regardless of whether the other parish has established a local housing authority.
(4)In the case of incorporated areas within other parishes, it may operate only with the consent of the governing body of any municipality incorporating such areas, and, if the other municipality has also established its own local housing authority, also with the consent of the other local housing authority.
(5)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a local housing authority may, subject to the limitations stated in R.S. 40:449, provide rental assistance to persons residing outside the authority's area of operation as defined in this Section.
B. For purposes of this Section, "home parish" means the parish in which the municipality establishing the local housing authority is situated.
