and facilities at this installation were on January 31, 1995, declared 
surplus to the federal government and available for use by (a) non-

conveyance of property for public projects, and (b) homeless provider 
groups pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless
