3. Rental assistance payments pursuant to this article may be pledged by the sponsor in connection with the financing or refinancing of a project, subject to any conditions prescribed in the housing assistance contract, but no such pledge shall create any obligation or liability on the part of the state or any agency or instrumentality thereof other than that prescribed in the contract.
