Military Housing Privatization Off To A Slow Start And Continued Management Attention Needed

Discusses the DoD's new military housing program known as the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, which allows and encourages private sector financing, ownership, operation, and maintenance of military housing. DoD hopes that this initiative will improve military housing faster and more economically than could be achieved if only traditional military construction appropriations were used. Reviews 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.
