## Summary

**Repurpose underutilized federal property** by pairing a General Services Administration (GSA) pilot that moves vacant or inefficient federal land into community hands with a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant program to pay for redevelopment and community benefits. The bill would focus projects on affordable housing, job creation, and community facilities like clinics, childcare centers, schools, and workforce centers. - Families and low-income households: Would get more projects that create or preserve permanently affordable housing and fund neighborhood services such as health clinics and childcare, targeting historically underserved communities. - Community organizations, local governments, and tribes: Would get priority to acquire underused federal property, including sales below fair market value when tied to a redevelopment plan, plus access to competitive HUD grants for planning, cleanup, construction, and infrastructure. - Federal property managers and local economies: Would run a GSA pilot that lasts 5 years, require redevelopment to start within 5 years of acquisition, allow recapture if conditions are unmet, and require a GSA study and congressional report on results.
