Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of Family Housing at Naval Station New York (Project No. 1CG-5010.01)
Abstract
In 1982, the Navy began planning nine additional strategic homeports to alleviate overcrowding in existing ports and to provide growth. Subsequent base closure legislation reduced the number of planned homeports to six. Seven ships were originally planned for homeporting at NAVSTA New York. The NAVSTA, located on Staten island, was one of the six remaining ports and the first port to reach operational capability. As of October 1, 1991, only one ship (USS NORMANDY) had actually arrived at the new NAVSTA homeport. Projected personnel strengths for the NAVSTA were originally estimated at 14,000 personnel, including dependents, most of whom would be active duty personnel assigned to the homeported ships. Naval Facilities Engineering Command management report, "Determination of Housing Requirements and Project Composition (DD Form 1378),1I dated July 21, 1988, showed that NAVSTA New York would have housing responsibility for 6,360 personnel by FY 1993. Of this number, 3,156 personnel would require family housing. To satisfy the housing need, Northern Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NORTHDIV) awarded two Section 801 build-to-lease contracts during June 1989 for 1,183 housing units (1,000 units in the first contract and 183 units in the second) totaling about $368 million over a 20-year period. The original scheduled completion date for the housing for both contracts was June 1991.
