Final Quick-Reaction Report on the Audit of DoD Leasing of Family Housing
Abstract
In October 1989, we announced our audit of DoD Leasing of Family Housing. The audit objectives included determining whether the Services acquired family housing under build-to-lease and other leasing arrangements, in compliance with Public Law 98-115 and DOD guidance. We also evaluated whether leasing family housing was an economical, long-term alternative to military construction of such facilities. During our audit, we found that leasing military family housing units for up to 20 years was not subject to the temporary prohibition on military construction directed by the Secretary of Defense. The prohibition on military construction was made because of continuing changes in the world situation, plans for. force restructuring, the impact of new base closure and realignment studies, and constraints on resources available for the national defense. The temporary prohibition on military construction should also apply to long-term leasing decisions to ensure that DoD does not commit to unneeded family housing units. Under the build-to-lease program, 28 projects consisting of 9,310 family housing units were in various stages of project review and approval.
