Retrospective Study of DoD Pilot Housing Programs

Abstract

This report assesses the suitability of the broadly applied techniques of a DoD pilot housing development program. This retrospective study evaluates the success of that program as implemented for eight military installations. Overall, the pilot housing program was successful to a degree at all eight locations. Each of the eight locations was able to add to or enhance the availability of affordable housing for military personnel. If DoD were to continue programs such as this, we recommend (1) it only be done at large installations; (2) revolving fund rehabilitation projects should be used when demand for housing is small, when military housing programs are not feasible, or when private housing is either unaffordable or unavailable; and (3) the DoD should publicize the availability of Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits for landlords offering low-income housing.
