Homeless Assistance Program Overview

Pursuant to Title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, state and local governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, are eligible to apply for land and buildings that have been determined to be "suitable and available." Properties may be used for a wide variety of programs and services for homeless people, including, but not limited to, emergency shelters, transitional programs (with occupancy limited to 24 months), food banks, job training, storage facilities, or administrative space.

General Services Administration (GSA)
Properties reported to GSA for disposal are submitted by GSA to HUD for a determination of suitability for homeless use. Properties determined suitable and available are posted on the Resource Center for 60 days to provide notice to interested parties.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
HUD collects information from all land holding agencies concerning their unutilized, underutilized, excess and surplus properties and determines which are suitable for use to assist homeless persons. Every Friday, the Government Printing Office publishes this information in the Federal Register available at:

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
HHS handles the application portion of the program. For information about eligibility and to obtain an application packet for a specific property please visit the HHS website at:
