The TRR Subcommittee meeting is open to the public with time scheduled for oral public comment. The NTP also invites written comments on any draft technical report discussed at the meeting.

Title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 11411 (Title V) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to make suitable Federal properties categorized as excess or surplus available to representatives of persons experiencing homelessness as a permissible use in the protection of public health. This notice finalizes a policy revision under Title V to include permanent supportive housing as an allowable use of surplus real property to assist persons experiencing homelessness. The purpose of this policy revision is to increase the supportive housing and service opportunities available to communities as they respond to homelessness, and is consistent with efforts within Federal, State, and local governments, and communities themselves, to end chronic homelessness. This final notice follows publication of a notice and request for comments on January 26, 2006.
