Military Housing: Further Improvements Needed in Requirements Determinations and Program Review
The Department of Defense (DOD) plans to spend about $9.8 billion in fiscal year 2004 under various programs to provide housing for about 711,000 families of active-duty military personnel in the United States. DOD's policy is to rely on private sector housing in the local communities near military installations as the primary source of family housing. About two-thirds of all military families in the United States live in local community housing and receive a cash housing allowance to help defray the cost of renting or purchasing a home. Until 2001, the housing allowance covered an average of 81 percent of the typical housing costs, and servicemembers paid the rest out of pocket. An initiative started in 2001 has significantly increased housing allowances and is slated to cover 100 percent of typical housing costs by 2005. When local community housing is unavailable, unsuitable, or too expensive, DOD's policy is to provide families with military-owned or privatized housing. Privatized housing, authorized by legislation in 1996, is housing normally located on military installations that is owned, operated, and maintained by private developers.
