Federal landholding agencies submit unutilized, underutilized, excess, and surplus properties to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to be reviewed for suitability as outlined in 24 CFR 581

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development reviews properties and determines them to be either:

• Suitable and available-HUD notifies the landholding agency, and the agency holds the property for 30-calendar days. This allows homeless service providers the opportunity to contact the US Department of Health and Human Services to express interest in a property, or
• Unsuitable-HUD notifies the landholding agency, and the agency holds the property for 20-calendar days. This allows homeless service providers the opportunity to contact the Department of Housing and Urban Development to submit an appeal request on HUD’s unsuitable determination of a property.

When an interested, eligible homeless organization identifies available surplus real property, suitable for its program, a formal written Expression of Interest must be submitted in writing.

Once an Expression of Interest has been received, an application packet is provided to the interested organization.
