Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph outlines the general attitude of Congress towards the Army's military housing program, as recorded in reports produced between FY 66 and FY 85 by the Military Construction Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, a key influence on family housing policy. Although Congress had planned, in the 1960s, to make a new effort to improve the military's family housing situation, the advent of the Vietnam War and its associated costs brought this improvement initiative to a halt. With the end of the Vietnam War and a reduction in US overseas commitments in the mid-seventies, Congress could once again address the problems of family housing. But, by the late seventies, family housing gains became fewer as defense budgets became more constrained and the dollar commanded fewer resources overseas. In the 1980s, the general increase in defense expenditures turned the family housing situation around again, with Congress currently willing to devote much more attention to Army family housing. Keywords: Prioritization; Evaluation; Deployed forces; and support systems initiative impacts.

Book excerpt: "the Military Construction Authorization Act, 1984, Congress authorized the Section 801 housing program, which provided a means for improving and expanding military family housing through private developers' investment. Under this authority, the Department of Defense (DOD) awarded eight contracts for the construction of on-base housing that typically consisted of two phases: the in-lease (DOD leases all of the units from developers for up to 20 years whether housing is occupied or not) and the out-lease (under some contracts, developers may rent housing to the general public while leasing the land from DOD for up to 30 more years).Based on a mandate in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 conference report, GAO's objectives were to assess (1) the status of contracts for on-base Section 801 military housing, (2) the estimated costs to DOD and local communities that would result from the general public occupying this housing, and (3) the extent to which DOD and the services share information on modifications to the contracts and community interaction experiences. GAO visited five installations with on-base Section 801 housing, analyzed housing contracts, and interviewed relevant officials. GAO recommends that DOD develop..."

Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) methodology for determining whether build-to-lease and rental-guarantee housing projects are cost-effective when compared to traditional military housing, where the government builds and owns the housing project. GAO also determined the status of the 801 project, where the government leases a project from a private developer, and the 802 project, where the government guarantees up to 97-percent occupancy of privately owned rental housing. GAO found that: (1) the services have complied with the laws authorizing 801 and 802 projects; (2) it could not compare the quality of 801 and 802 housing projects with those built under traditional military construction due to the stage of the projects at the time of its review, the lack of comparable housing units, and the subjective nature of quality determinations; (3) DOD officials believe that the quality of 801 units would be equal to that of traditional military construction; however, 802 units would be adequate but not as good as 801 or traditional military housing units since less money is used to construct the 802 units; (4) although Congress received information showing that the 801 and 802 projects were less costly than the services' estimate, the information may not be an adequate basis for approving an 801 or 802 project, due to the uncertainty about the quality of leased housing and the maximum allowable cost that DOD sets to ensure that all successful 801 and 802 bids are less costly than the military construction alternative; and (5) more information is needed to determine whether leasing is more cost-effective than traditional military construction methods.
