investments is the American Housing 

Survey (AHS). The AHS provides a 

wealth of data on size and composition 

of the nation’s housing inventory, which 

could be more effectively used by 

researchers to address questions about 

housing market dynamics. 

(4) Housing technology for 

construction and rehabilitation work for 

HUD-funded clients. Public and private 

housing providers are increasingly using 

housing technology to improve energy 

efficiency or to introduce green or 

sustainable housing rehabilitation, 

construction, or products in the HUDfunded housing. HUD is interested in 

research that explores the successful 

efforts and knowledge of the private 

building sector that carries out 

construction and rehabilitation work for 

HUD-funded clients. This would be 

accomplished by examining products 

and systems, the decision-making 

process by private and public parties, 

and strategies pursued by private and 

philanthropic parties producing and 

promoting products and systems. HUD’s 

interest is in encouraging replication of 

successful efforts by both private 

builders and HUD clients. 

Cost Sharing 

Cost sharing is required for research 

projects to be eligible for funding 

through HUD’s non-competitive 

cooperative agreement authority. In 

accordance with the 2012 

Appropriations Act, at least 50 percent 

of the total estimated cost of the project 

must come from a philanthropic entity, 

other federal agency, or state or local 

government agency, or any combination 

of these partners. For the purposes of 

the cost-sharing requirement, HUD 

defines a philanthropic entity as the 

subset of 501(c)(3) organizations that 

directly fund research activities. These 

include private foundations, public 

charities, and operating foundations. An 

educational institution may have a 

separate foundation, which would be 

considered a philanthropic entity for 

these purposes. Philanthropic entities 

may include foreign entities. 

Contributions do not include waiver of 

overhead or similar costs. 

Proposals 

Proposals should contain sufficient 

information for PD&R to identify 

whether the research would meet 

statutory requirements for cost sharing 

and alignment with the research 

priorities identified above. Additionally, 

proposals should include the name, 

title, and telephone number of an 

individual that PD&R may contact in the 

event of any questions about the 

proposal. Proposals for research 

partnerships that have already been 

submitted to HUD as part of a grant 

competition are ineligible as the subject 

of a non-competitive cooperative 

agreement. 

Proposal Review 

Proposals will be reviewed by a 

person or persons within HUD who are 

knowledgeable in the field of endeavor 

related to the substance of the research 

proposal. An Advisory Committee that 

includes the Deputy Assistant Secretary 

(DAS) for the Office of Research, 

Evaluation and Monitoring, the DAS for 

the Office of Policy Development, the 

DAS for the Office of Economic Affairs, 

the DAS for the Office of International 

and Philanthropic Innovation, and the 

DAS for the Office of University 

Partnerships, or any delegate asked to 

act on his or her behalf, will review 

proposals and make recommendations 

to the Assistant Secretary of PD&R. That 

recommendation will be documented 

and sent to the Office of the General 

Counsel and PD&R’s Budget office 

concurrent with submission to the 

Assistant Secretary. As required by the 

statutory authority within the 

appropriations bill, HUD will report 

each award provided through a 

cooperative agreement in the Federal 

Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act Sub-award Reporting 

System created under the Federal 

Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2006.

To Assist the Homeless 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Notice identifies 

unutilized, underutilized, excess, and 

surplus Federal property reviewed by 

HUD for suitability for use to assist the 

homeless. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Juanita Perry, Department of Housing 

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 

Street SW., Room 7266, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and 

section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney 

Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 

11411), as amended, HUD is publishing 

this Notice to identify Federal buildings 

and other real property that HUD has 

reviewed for suitability for use to assist 

the homeless. The properties were 

reviewed using information provided to 

HUD by Federal landholding agencies 

regarding unutilized and underutilized 

buildings and real property controlled 

by such agencies or by GSA regarding 

its inventory of excess or surplus 

Federal property. This Notice is also 

published in order to comply with the 

December 12, 1988 Court Order in 

National Coalition for the Homeless v. 

Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503– 

OG (D.D.C.). On April 6, 2012, HUD 

published an announcement in the 

Federal Register that stated that the 

notice of unutilized, underutilized, 

excess, and surplus Federal property 

reviewed by HUD for suitability for use 

to assist the homeless would not be 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 6, 2012, but would be published 

on April 20, 2012. The April 6, 2012, 

announcement only pertained to the 

properties that would have been 

published on April 6, 2012. Because of 

the length of the April 6, 2012, report, 

the Federal Register could not 

accommodate publication until April 

20, 2012. Today’s publication, however, 

is the report intended to be published 

on April 13, 2012. 

Properties reviewed are listed in this 

Notice according to the following 

categories: Suitable/available, suitable/ 

unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and 

unsuitable. The properties listed in the 

three suitable categories have been 

reviewed by the landholding agencies, 

and each agency has transmitted to 

HUD: (1) Its intention to make the 

property available for use to assist the 

homeless, (2) its intention to declare the 

property excess to the agency’s needs, or 

(3) a statement of the reasons that the 

property cannot be declared excess or 

made available for use as facilities to 

assist the homeless. 

Properties listed as suitable/available 

will be available exclusively for 

homeless use for a period of 60 days 

from the date of this Notice. Where 

property is described as for ‘‘off-site use 

only’’ recipients of the property will be 

required to relocate the building to their 

own site at their own expense.

Federal use. At the appropriate time, 

HUD will publish the property in a 

Notice showing it as either suitable/ 

available or suitable/unavailable. 

For properties listed as suitable/ 

unavailable, the landholding agency has 

decided that the property cannot be 

declared excess or made available for 

use to assist the homeless, and the 

property will not be available. 

Properties listed as unsuitable will 

not be made available for any other 

purpose for 20 days from the date of this

determination of unsuitability should
