SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends to enter into an EUL on an 
approximately 2.6-acre parcel of land that includes three buildings at

finance, design, develop, construct, renovate, manage, operate and

lessee will be required to construct, renovate, operate, and maintain a 
transitional and permanent housing facility, provide preference and

Enterprise Management (044), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810

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,
