(b)(1) Any city, town, or county located, in whole or in part, within the area of operation of a housing authority shall have the power from time to time to lend or donate money to the authority or agree to take such action.

(2) The authority, when it has money available, shall make reimbursements for all such loans made to it by way of loans.
