Title V of the McKinney-Vento Act provides suitable Federal properties categorized as unutilized, underutilized, excess, or surplus for use to assist homeless persons. Properties are made available to States, units of local government, and non-profit organizations. Properties can be used to provide shelter, services, storage, or other uses of benefit to homeless persons. |

Amount of
funding |
The program provides no funding, and the properties are made available on an "as is" basis. Properties are leased without charge, although the homeless organization must pay for operating and repair costs. Depending on the availability of the property, and other factors, surplus properties may also be deeded to the organization. |
Application
process |
HUD collects information from Federal agencies concerning their unutilized, underutilized, excess and surplus properties and determines which are suitable for use to assist homeless persons. The determination is based on information submitted by the agency controlling the property. HUD publishes a weekly (every Friday) Federal Register notice listing property determinations and availability.
To obtain an application packet for a particular property, write to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Property Management, Program Support Center, Room 5B-41, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857. Telephone Number: (301) 443-2265. Your letter should identify the property in which you are interested, including the date of the Federal Register notice in which it was published, and request an application packet. |
