DOD Family Housing Requirements Determination

Abstract

The Defense Family Housing Program was established to provide family housing for military families when the private sector is unable to provide adequate affordable housing, or when personnel must be housed on base to ensure military readiness. DoD's policy is to rely first on the local housing market as the primary source of family housing. Funds are not programmed for military-owned or - leased family housing if the local market has the capacity to provide suitable housing. The Services (the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps) are responsible for determining their individual family housing needs. The DoD budget submission for FY 1998 included $680 million for family housing construction and improvements. DoD estimates that 67 percent of the existing family housing inventory needs renovation or replacement at a cost of $20 billion over 40 years.
