Councils/Committees

The following is a partial list of the councils and committees the Real Property Policy Division collaborates with throughout the year.

American Broadband Initiative (ABI)

The ABI coordinates strategies for increasing efficiency in government broadband programs and expanding the Nation’s broadband capacity. There are three interagency workstreams composed of more than 25 agencies that work to achieve ABI’s goals. GSA is the co-chair for the workstream Leveraging Federal Assets (LFA). LFA’s objective is to make federal assets, such as tower facilities, buildings, and land available for use in deploying broadband infrastructure as much as possible to lower the cost of broadband buildouts and encourage private-sector companies to expand telecommunications infrastructure, especially in rural America.

Federal Real Property Council (FRPC)

The FRPC consists of federal Senior Real Property Officers, the Controller of OMB, the Administrator of General Services, and any other officials or employees permitted by the chair of the Council. The Deputy Director for Management for OMB is the chair of the Council, and OMB provides funding and administrative support to the Council. 

Federal Facilities Council (FFC)

The FFC is a coalition of federal agencies that operates under the auspices of the National Research Council’s Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment. The FFC’s mission is to identify and advance technologies, processes, and management practices that improve the performance of federal facilities over their entire life-cycle, from planning to disposal.

U.S. Chief Financial Officers Council  

The Council was established pursuant to Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576). It is an organization of the CFOs and Deputy CFOs of the largest Federal agencies, senior officials of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Department of the Treasury who work collaboratively to improve financial management in the U.S. Government.  

U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH)

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is an independent federal agency whose mission is to coordinate the Federal response to homelessness and to create a national partnership at every level of government and with the private sector to reduce and end homelessness in the nation while maximizing the effectiveness of the Federal Government in contributing to the end of homelessness.
