municipal housing authority has jurisdiction to exercise the powers
granted by this chapter in the municipality and in the area within five

housing authority. Such a resolution may be adopted only after a public
hearing, with notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing
given by the fiscal body by publication in accordance with IC 5-3-1.

share jurisdiction to exercise the powers granted by this chapter in the
