The General Services Administration (GSA), under the authority of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, identifies real property that is no longer required by the federal government. Under this authority, and Title V of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as amended, HHS may transfer declared federal surplus real estate to eligible nonfederal applicants for both public health and homeless purposes.
The Real Property Branch administers the federal Real Property Assistance Program for HHS and transfers federal surplus real properties for use by various public health programs, as well as homeless assistance programs offered by state and local government agencies and private non-profit organizations. The Real Property Branch monitors and oversees the proper use of the property after its transfer.
