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 of surplus Federal property. This notice is also published in
order to comply with the December 12, 1998 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
[[Page 19271]]
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.
