The Department of Defense (DOD) spends about $8 billion |
|
annually to provide housing for military members and |
|
their families either by paying cash allowances for |
|
members to live in private sector housing or by assigning |
|
members to military-owned or -leased quarters. Over the |
|
past several years, DOD has expressed concern over the |
|
poor quality of the military housing inventory and the |
|
need for renovations and improvements to bring the |
|
housing up to contemporary standards. To improve housing |
|
faster and more economically than could be achieved if |
|
only traditional military construction appropriations |
|
were used, the Congress approved DOD's request for a new |
|
initiative, known as the Military Housing Privatization |
|
initiative, that allows and encourages private sector |
|
financing, ownership, operation, and maintenance of |
|
military housing. Under the initiative, DOD can provide |
|
direct loans, loan guarantees, and other incentives to |
|
encourage private developers to construct and operate |
|
housing either on or off military installations. Because |
|
it represents a new approach to improving military |
|
housing, GAO reviewed the implementation of the new |
|
initiative to (1) measure progress to date, (2) assess |
|
issues associated with privatizing military housing, and |
|
(3) determine whether the new initiative is being |
|
integrated with other elements of DOD's housing program. |
