Department of Defense agencies
With the expanded authority of Title 10 USC § 2667, each of the Departments of Defense have the authority and incentive to obtain a broad range of financial and in-kind considerations for leasing opportunities. The changes to Section 2667 expand the purposes for which lease proceeds may be used, and augment the types of in-kind consideration which may be accepted for leases. These changes maximize the utility and value of installation real property and provide additional tools for managing the installation's assets to achieve business efficiencies.
Department of Veterans Affairs
In 1991, VA obtained legislative authority (38 U.S.C. Sections 8161 through 8169) for its enhanced-use leasing program, the first federal agency to get this authority. VA will be able to convert under-performing properties into productive assets yielding the highest and best return to the taxpayer. Enhanced-use leasing is a cooperative arrangement under which VA property is made available to public or private entities, compatible with VA missions and private-market needs. The entity can manage the property, receiving revenue either from VA's use of the property, lease of excess space, or both. VA gets facilities, space, services, monetary payments or other "in-kind" considerations free or at reduced cost.
