SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with Sections 2905 and 2906 of

the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994, P.L. 103-

160 (Pryor Act Amendment) and 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 or surplus Federal

property. This Notice is also published in order to comply with the

April 21, 1993 Court Order in National Coalition for the Homeless v.

Veterans Administration, No. 88-2503-OG (D.D.C.)

These properties reviewed are listed as suitable/available. In

accordance with the Pryor Act Amendment suitable properties will be

made available for use 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. Please be advised, in accordance with the provisions of

the Pryor Act Amendment, that if no expressions of interest or

applications are received by the Department of Health and Human

Services (HHS) during the 60 day period, these properties will no

longer be available for use to assist the homeless. In the case of

buildings and properties for which no such notice is received, these

buildings and properties shall be available only for the purpose of

permitting a redevelopment authority to express in writing an interest

in the use of such buildings and properties. These buildings and

properties shall be available for a submission by such redevelopment

authority exclusively for one year. Buildings and properties available

for a redevelopment authority shall not be available for use to assist

the homeless. If a redevelopment authority does not express an interest

in the use of the buildings or properties or commence the use of

buildings or properties within the applicable time period such

buildings and properties shall then be republished as properties

available for use to assist the homeless pursuant to Section 501 of the

Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act.

Homeless assistance providers interested in any such property

should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed to Brian

Rooney, Division of Health Facilities Planning, U.S. Public Health
