The Secretary of Health and Human Services can lease surplus federal facilities transferred by the General Services Administration to HHS to states, local governments, or nonprofit groups for use as runaway and homeless youth centers or transitional living shelters. The Secretary must decide that the applicant has enough money to run the project, the right experience to operate it, and approval from the local government's chief executive. Each facility must be made available for at least 2 years and rent-free. Any structural changes or additions become U.S. property and can only be done after written permission from the Secretary or another HHS official.
