-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends to enter into an EUL on two 
parcels totaling approximately 6 acres of land at the Minneapolis VA 
Health Care System in Minnesota. The selected lessee will finance, 
design, develop, construct, manage, maintain and operate the EUL 
development. As consideration for the lease, the lessee will be 
required to construct, renovate, operate and maintain a permanent 
supportive housing facility with priority placement for homeless 
Veterans and their families.

Enterprise Management (044), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 461-7778 (this is not a 
toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 38 U.S.C. 8161 et seq. states that the 
Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he determines that 
implementation of a business plan proposed by the Under Secretary for 
Health for applying the consideration under such a lease for the 
provision of medical care and services would result in a demonstrable 
improvement of services to eligible Veterans in the geographic service-
delivery area within which the property is located. This project meets 
this requirement.

    Approved: November 10, 2011.
Eric K. Shinseki,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
