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.
