    (1) Information about homelessness in the communities in the 
vicinity of the installation.
    (i) A list of all the political jurisdictions which comprise the 
LRA.
    (ii) A description of the unmet need in the continuum of care system 
within each political jurisdiction, which should include information 
about any gaps that exist in the continuum of care for particular 
homeless subpopulations. The source for this information shall depend 
upon the size and nature of the political jurisdictions(s) that comprise 
the LRA. LRAs representing:
    (A) Political jurisdictions that are required to submit a 
Consolidated Plan shall include a copy of their Homeless and Special 
Needs Population Table (table 1), Priority Homeless Needs Assessment 
Table (table 2), and narrative description thereof from that 
Consolidated Plan, including the inventory of facilities and services 
that assist the homeless in the jurisdiction.
    (B) Political jurisdictions that are part of an urban county that is 
required to submit a Consolidated Plan shall include a copy of their 
Homeless and Special Needs Population Table (table 1), Priority Homeless 
Needs Assessment Table (table 2), and narrative description thereof from 
that Consolidated Plan, including the inventory of facilities and 
services that assist the homeless in the jurisdiction. In addition, the 
LRA shall explain what portion of the homeless population and

586.30(b)(1)(ii)(A) or

[[Page 283]]

Sec. 586.30(b)(1)(ii)(B) shall submit a narrative description of what 
it perceives to be the homeless population within the jurisdiction and a 
brief inventory of the facilities and services that assist homeless 
persons and families within the jurisdiction. LRAs that represent these 
jurisdictions are not required to conduct surveys of the homeless 
population.
    (2) Notices of interest proposing assistance to homeless persons 
and/or families.
    (i) A description of the proposed activities to be carried out on or 
off the installation and a discussion of how these activities meet a 
portion or all of the needs of the homeless by addressing the gaps in 
the continuum of care. The activities need not be limited to expressions 
of interest in property, but may also include discussions of how 
economic redevelopment may benefit the homeless;
    (ii) A copy of each notice of interest from representatives of the 
homeless for use of buildings and property and a description of the 
manner in which the LRA's application addresses the need expressed in 
each notice of interest. If the LRA determines that a particular notice 
of interest should not be awarded property, an explanation of why the 
LRA determined not to support that notice of interest, the reasons for 
which may include the impact of the program contained in the notice of 
interest on the community as described in Sec. 586.30(b)(2)(iii); and
    (iii) A description of the impact that the implemented redevelopment 
plan will have on the community. This shall include information on how 
the LRA's redevelopment plan might impact the character of existing 
neighborhoods adjacent to the properties proposed to be used to assist 
the homeless and should discuss alternative plans. Impact on schools, 
social services, transportation, infrastructure, and concentration of 
minorities and/or low income persons shall also be discussed.
    (3) Legally binding agreements for buildings, property, funding, 
and/or services.
    (i) A copy of the legally binding agreements that the LRA proposes 
to enter into with the representative(s) of the homeless selected by the 
LRA to implement homeless programs that fill gaps in the existing 
continuum of care. The legally binding agreements shall provide for a 
process for negotiating alternative arrangements in the event that an 
environmental analysis conducted under Sec. 586.45(b) indicates that 
any property identified for transfer in the agreement is not suitable 
for the intended purpose. Where the balance determined in accordance 
with Sec. 586.30(b)(4) provides for the use of installation property as 
a homeless assistance facility, legally binding agreements must provide 
for the reversion or transfer, either to the LRA or to another entity or 
entities, of the buildings and property in the event they cease to be 
used for the homeless. In cases where the balance proposed by the LRA 
does not include the use of buildings or property on the installation, 
the legally binding agreements need not be tied to the use of specific 
real property and need not include a reverter clause. Legally binding 
agreements shall be accompanied by a legal opinion of the chief legal 
advisor of the LRA or political jurisdiction or jurisdictions which will 
be executing the legally binding agreements that the legally binding 
agreements, when executed, will constitute legal, valid, binding, and 
enforceable obligations on the parties thereto;
    (ii) A description of how buildings, property, funding, and/or 
services either on or off the installation will be used to fill some of 
the gaps in the current continuum of care system and an explanation of 
the suitability of the buildings and property for that use; and
    (iii) Information on the availability of general services such as 
transportation, police, and fire protection, and a discussion of 
infrastructure such as water, sewer, and electricity in the vicinity of 
the proposed homeless activity at the installation.
    (4) An assessment of the balance with economic and other development 
needs.
    (i) An assessment of the manner in which the application balances 
the expressed needs of the homeless and the needs of the communities 
comprising the LRA for economic redevelopment and other development; and

[[Page 284]]

    (ii) An explanation of how the LRA's application is consistent with 
the appropriate Consolidated Plan(s) or any other existing housing, 
social service, community, economic, or other development plans adopted 
by the jurisdictions in the vicinity of the installation.
    (5) A description of the outreach undertaken by the LRA. The LRA 
shall explain how the outreach requirements described at Sec. 
586.20(c)(1) and Sec. 586.20(c)(3) have been fulfilled. This 
explanation shall include a list of the representatives of the homeless 
the LRA contacted during the outreach process.
    (c) Public comments. The LRA application shall include the materials 
described at Sec. 586.20(c)(6). These materials shall be prefaced with 
an overview of the citizen participation process observed in preparing 
the application.
