From the report, “In 1996, Congress enacted the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (hereafter, the privatized housing program) in response to Department of Defense (DOD) concerns about the effect of inadequate and poor-quality housing on service members and their families.1 Since the mid-1990s, DOD has worked with private-sector developers and property management companies (hereafter referred to as private housing companies) to construct, renovate, maintain, and repair housing at domestic military installations through partnerships known as privatized housing projects.2 These private housing companies currently own and operate 99 percent of military family housing in the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. At the end of fiscal year 2022, 14 private housing companies were responsible for 78 privatized housing projects— 34 for the Army, 31 for the Air Force, and 13 for the Navy and the Marine Corps.”
