homeless Veterans and Veterans at risk of homelessness and their 
families; and provide a supportive services program that guides

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 38 U.S.C. 8161 et seq. states that the 
Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he determines that 
implementation of a business plan proposed by the Under Secretary for 
Health for applying the consideration under such a lease for the 
provision of medical care and services would result in a demonstrable 
improvement of services to eligible Veterans in the geographic service-
delivery area within which the property is located. This project meets 
this requirement.
