held exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the 1954 Internal

health and homeless assistance purposes. Transfers are made to 
transferees at little or no cost.

governments and non-profit institutions use these applications to apply 
for excess/surplus, underutilized/unutilized and off-site government

property under the provisions of the surplus real property program.
