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.).

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. Homeless

assistance providers interested in any

such property should send a written

expression of interest to HHS, addressed

to Brian Rooney, Division of Property

Management, Program Support Center,

HHS, room 5B–41, 5600 Fishers Lane,

Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 443–2265.

(This is not a toll-free number.) HHS

will mail to the interested provider an

application packet, which will include

instructions for completing the

application. In order to maximize the

opportunity to utilize a suitable

property, providers should submit their

written expressions of interest as soon

as possible. For complete details

concerning the processing of

applications, the reader is encouraged to

refer to the interim rule governing this

program, 24 CFR part 581.

For properties listed as suitable/to be

excess, that property may, if

subsequently accepted as excess by

GSA, be made available for use by the

homeless in accordance with applicable

law, subject to screening for other

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

Notice. Homeless assistance providers

interested in a review by HUD of the

determination of unsuitability should

call the toll free information line at 1–

800–927–7588 for detailed instructions

or write a letter to Mark Johnston at the

address listed at the beginning of this

Notice. Included in the request for

review should be the property address

(including zip code), the date of

publication in the Federal Register, the

landholding agency, and the property

number.

particular properties identified in this

Notice (i.e., acreage, floor plan, existing
