Sfmt 4703
application is reviewed by HUD
Headquarters and HUD Field Offices
and ranked according to the PHA’s
administrative capability, the need for
housing assistance, and other factors
specified in a notice of funding
availability. The PHAs must establish a
utility allowance schedule for all

HCV program. After the family is issued
a HCV to search for a unit, the family
must complete and submit to the PHA
a Request for Tenancy Approval when

needs. Initial PHAs will use a
standardized form to submit portability
information to the receiving PHA who
will also use the form for monthly
portability billing. PHAs and owners
will enter into HAP Contracts each
providing information on rents,
payments, certifications, notifications,
and owner agreement in a form
acceptable to the PHA. A tenancy
addendum is included in the HAP
contract as well as incorporated in the
lease between the owner and the family.
Families that participate in the
Homeownership option will execute a
statement regarding their
responsibilities and execute contracts of
sale including an additional contract of
sale for new construction units. PHAs
participating in the project-based
voucher (PBV) program will enter into
Agreements with developing owners,
HAP contracts with the existing and
New Construction/Rehabilitation
owners, Statement of Family
Responsibility with the family and a
lease addendum will be provided for
execution between the family and the
owner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance 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
December 12, 1988 Court Order in
National Coalition for the Homeless v.
Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–
OG (D.D.C.).
Properties reviewed are listed in this
Notice according to the following
categories: Suitable/available, suitable/
unavailable, and suitable/to be excess,
and unsuitable. The properties listed in
the three suitable categories have been
reviewed by the landholding agencies,
and each agency has transmitted to
HUD: (1) Its intention to make the
property available for use to assist the
homeless, (2) its intention to declare the
property excess to the agency’s needs, or
(3) a statement of the reasons that the
property cannot be declared excess or
made available for use as facilities 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. Where
property is described as for ‘‘off-site use
only’’ recipients of the property will be
required to relocate the building to their
own site at their own expense.
Homeless assistance providers
interested in any such property should
send a written expression of interest to
HHS, addressed to Theresa Ritta, Ms.
Theresa M. Ritta, Chief Real Property
Branch, the Department of Health and
Human Services, Room 5B–17,
Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane,
Rockville, MD 20857, (301) 443–6672

will mail to the interested provider an
application packet, which will include
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
instructions for completing the
application. In order to maximize the
opportunity to utilize a suitable
property, providers should submit their
written expressions of interest as soon
as possible. For complete details
concerning the processing of
applications, the reader is encouraged to
refer to the interim rule governing this
program, 24 CFR part 581.
For properties listed as suitable/to be
excess, that property may, if
subsequently accepted as excess by
GSA, be made available for use by the
homeless in accordance with applicable
law, subject to screening for other
Federal use. At the appropriate time,
HUD will publish the property in a
Notice showing it as either suitable/
available or suitable/unavailable.
For properties listed as suitable/
unavailable, the landholding agency has
decided that the property cannot be
declared excess or made available for
use to assist the homeless, and the
property will not be available.
Properties listed as unsuitable will
not be made available for any other
purpose for 20 days from the date of this
Notice. Homeless assistance providers
interested in a review by HUD of the
determination of unsuitability should
call the toll free information line at 1–
800–927–7588 for detailed instructions
or write a letter to Ann Marie Oliva at
the address listed at the beginning of
this Notice. Included in the request for
review should be the property address
(including zip code), the date of
publication in the Federal Register, the
landholding agency, and the property
number.
