   (2) Exclusively the income and revenues of certain designated housing projects, whether or not they are financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of the bonds; or

   (3) The income and revenues of the authority generally.

   (b) The bonds may be additionally secured by a pledge of any income or revenues of the authority or, in certain instances, a mortgage of any housing project, projects, or other property of the authority.
