The authority may institute any action or proceeding against any qualified housing sponsor receiving a loan under the provisions of this act, or owning any housing project hereunder, in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this act, or to foreclose its mortgage, or to protect the public interest, the tenants, the stockholders or creditors of such sponsor. In connection with any such action or proceeding, the authority may apply for the appointment of a receiver to take over, manage, operate and maintain the affairs of such qualified housing sponsor, and the authority through such agent as it shall designate is hereby authorized to accept appointment as receiver of any such sponsor when so appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The reorganization of any qualified housing sponsor shall be subject to the supervision and control of the authority and no such reorganization shall be had without the consent of the authority. Upon any such reorganization the amount of capitalization, including therein all stocks, income debentures and bonds and other evidence of indebtedness, shall be such as is authorized by the authority but not in excess of the fair value of the property received.
