The VA Secretary may acquire and use real property for certain veterans' programs. This can happen even before the title to the property is formally approved. It can also happen even if the government's interest in the property isn't full ownership.

For the purposes of sections 314, 315, 316, and 2406, and subchapter I of chapter 81, of this title, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may acquire and start using real property in two special ways: (1) before the title to the property has gone through the normal approval process required under 40 U.S.C. § 3111; and (2) even if the property won't be owned outright ("fee simple"), as long as the Secretary decides the lesser interest is good enough for the intended use.
