An Analysis of DOD's Family Housing Management Account and Lease Construction Agreements

Abstract

The Department of Defense can legally reprogram funds appropriated to operate and maintain family housing units controlled by the military services. This flexibility is provided for in laws creating the family housing management account and appropriating a lump sum amount called "operation, maintenance" to fund family housing programs. Overseas, the Department has been given the authority to enter into lease construction agreements for family housing rental units before it receives funds appropriated for the leases. Such leases, provided they meet certain statutory limits on rental rates, are authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2675, and are meant to enable the Department to obtain adequate housing for military families.
