Sec. 92.1 Purpose.

This part implements the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and

Homeless Assistance Act (Pub. L. 103-421, approved October 25, 1994).

It describes the roles and responsibilities of the Department of

Defense (DoD), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),

Local redevelopment Authorities (LRAs), and representatives of the

homeless in planning and implementing the reuse of domestic military

installations that are approved for closure or realignment.

Specifically, this part describes the guidance DoD and HUD provide to

the LRA, the planning documents the LRA develops and submits to DoD and

HUD in planning the reuse of these installations, and the standards of

review that HUD observes when reviewing the documents submitted by the

LRA. Pub. L. 103-421 authorizes HUD to determine whether the plan for

the reuse of the installation proposed by LRA balances the community

development, economic redevelopment and other development needs of the

communities in the vicinity of the installation with the needs of the

homeless in those communities.

redevelopment plan:

(1) Need. Takes into consideration the size and nature of the

homeless

[[Page 55571]]

population in the communities in the vicinity of the installation, the

availability of existing services in such communities to meet the needs

of the homeless in such communities, and the suitability of the

buildings and property covered by the application for use and needs of

the homeless in such communities.

(2) Impact. Takes into consideration any economic impact of the

homeless assistance under the plan on the communities in the vicinity

of the installation, including:

(i) Whether the plan is feasible in light of demands that would be

placed on available social services, police and fire protection, and

infrastructure in the community; and

(ii) Whether the application is consistent with the Consolidated

Plan(s) or any other existing housing, social service, community,

economic, or other development plans adopted by the jurisdictions in

the vicinity of the installation.

communities in the vicinity of the installation for economic

redevelopment and other development with the needs of the homeless in

such communities.

(4) Outreach. Was developed in consultation with representatives of

the homeless and the homeless assistance planning boards, if any, in

the communities in the vicinity of the installation.

(i) HUD will examine whether the outreach requirements described at

Sec. 92.20(c)(3) have been fulfilled by the LRA. HUD will carefully

review the outreach process to insure that the LRA advertised the

availability of installation properties to representatives of the

homeless.

(ii) HUD will compare the list of homeless representatives

contacted by the LRA against contacts maintained by the local HUD Field

Office.

(5) Properties. Specifies the manner in which buildings and

is requested as of the deadline specified in Sec. 92.20(c)(5), and the

state turns down a DoD written request to become recognized as the LRA,

the absence of such application will trigger an adverse determination

by HUD effective on the date of the lapsed deadline. Under these

conditions, HUD will follow the process described at Sec. 92.40.

(d) Opportunity to cure. (1) The LRA shall have 90 days from its

receipt of the notice of preliminary determination under paragraph

(c)(1) of this section within which to submit to HUD a revised

application which addresses the determinations listed in the notice.
