(a) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Housing, may enter into a contract with a municipality for state financial assistance for the demolition of unsafe structures which under state or local law have been determined to be structurally unsound or unfit for human habitation and which such municipality has authority to demolish. Such contract shall provide state financial assistance in the form of a state grant-in-aid equal to (1) two-thirds of the net cost of the demolition as approved by the commissioner, or (2) where the demolition is financed under the federal Housing Act of 1949, as amended, one-half of the amount by which the net cost of the demolition, as approved by the commissioner, exceeds the federal grant-in-aid thereof.
(b) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Housing, may enter into a contract with a municipality for state financial assistance for programs of urban beautification; provided such program shall have been approved by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development under the federal Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended. Such contract shall provide for state financial assistance in the form of a state grant-in-aid equal to one-half of the amount by which the net cost of the program as approved by the commissioner exceeds the federal grant-in-aid thereof.
