Military Family Housing: Opportunities to Improve Operations and Maintenance of Military Family Housing

Abstract

This report responds to your request that we evaluate the Department of Defense (DOD) family housing program. It discusses our review of the operations and maintenance of family housing at the installation level to determine whether this program was being performed in the most economical manner. In summary, we identified three areas in which DOD'S family housing operations and maintenance program needs attention. These involve (1) the use of substantially greater amounts of energy (gas and electricity) by some military housing tenants compared to other military housing tenants or local private sector consumers, (2) the questionable economy of providing for the contract cleaning of military housing upon change of tenants, and (3) delays in repairing and returning unoccupied housing to use.
