Properties, including buildings and land, are made available on an ‘as-is’ basis as no funding is available under Title V. Leases are provided on a no-cost basis and range from one to 20 years, depending upon the availability.

Eligible applicants include

Successful applicants may use the Title V property to provide:

• Services,
• Job training,
• Meals,
• Counseling, and
• Other services that benefit for persons experiencing homelessness.
