The Authority may make non-interest bearing advances to nonprofit corporations for constructing or rehabilitating developments designed and planned to make housing available at low and moderate rentals to low and moderate income persons and families if such housing complies with the standards set by the Authority under this Act. No advances may be made unless the Authority may reasonably anticipate that assisted mortgage financing may be obtained for the permanent financing of the development. The proceeds of the advance may be used only to defray the development costs of such development.
