House Armed Services Committee, Quality of Life Panel Hearing, “An Update on Unaccompanied Military Housing and the Military Housing Privatization Initiative : 118th Congress , September 27 , 2023
From the report, “Today, we are addressing an issue that is critical to the quality of life for service members and their families: the state of military housing. This is an issue that goes beyond party lines and demands our attention and action. Our men and women in uniform have put their life on the line to protect our freedom. They and their families make countless sacrifices for our Nation. We owe it to these individuals to ensure they have access to safe, comfortable, and affordable housing. Unfortunately, the reality of military housing is often far from that. And that is our focus for today. Last week, the Government Accountability Office published a report detailing deplorable and frankly inexcusable conditions of our unaccompanied housing for junior service members. Sewage overflow, water quality issues, rodent infestations, mold, broken air-conditioning units in sweltering heat, and others all have been found in these facilities, facilities that service members are expected and required to live in.”
