DHHS: Request for Comments on Proposed Rule

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced a policy change that would allow local governments and community groups to be able to use Federal surplus property for permanent, supportive housing. This type of housing is provided in conjunction with other services that address mental and physical disabilities, substance use problems, and co-occurring mental and substance use disorders of individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness. DHHS is requesting comments on the proposed rule change through February, 27, 2006.
