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

SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends to enter into an EUL for an 
approximately 2.0-acre parcel of land and a vacant building at the

Georgia. As consideration, the selected lessee will be required to 
finance, design, develop, construct, maintain and operate the EUL 
development. The lessee will also be required to provide preference and 
priority placement for Veterans at risk for homelessness, and provide 
on-site supportive services.

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 14, 2011.
Eric K. Shinseki,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
