(a) USE OF AVAILABLE SPACE AT NATIONAL GUARD FACILITIES.—
The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall consult
with the chief executive officers of the States and the Secretary
of Defense to determine the availability of space at National Guard
facilities for use by homeless organizations in providing overnight
shelter for homeless persons and families. The Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development shall determine the availability of only
such space that can be used for shelter purposes during periods
it is not actively being used for National Guard purposes. The
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall also determine
the availability of incidental services at such facilities, including
utilities, bedding, security, transportation, renovation of facilities,
minor repairs undertaken specifically to make available space in
a facility suitable for use as an overnight shelter for homeless
individuals, and property liability insurance.

(b) LIMITATIONS.—In consultations under this section, the Sec-
retary of Housing and Urban Development shall determine—

(1) the number and capacity of such facilities that may
be made available for shelters for homeless persons and families
without adversely affecting the military or emergency service
preparedness of the State or the United States; and

(2) whether any available space is suitable for use as an
overnight shelter for homeless individuals or can, with minor
repairs, be made suitable for that use.

(c) REPORT.—The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
shall submit to the Congress, not later than the expiration of
the 1-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this
Act, a report regarding the consultations and determinations made
by the Secretary under this section. The report shall include any
recommendations of the Secretary regarding the need for, and fea-
sibility of, using National Guard facilities for homeless shelters
and any recommendations of the Secretary for administrative or
legislative action to provide for such use.
