S.C. Code Ann. § 31-3-1150: Functions, rights, powers, and duties of regional housing authority.

A regional housing authority shall have all of the functions, rights, powers and duties provided for housing authorities created for cities and counties. The provisions of this chapter and Chapter 11 shall apply to a regional housing authority in the same manner and to the same extent as such provisions are applicable to a housing authority created for a city or county, and the term "authority" or "housing authority" as used in such provisions shall be construed as including "regional housing authority," unless a different meaning clearly appears from the context.
