Book excerpt: In 1996, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) to conduct a new study of military family housing. Previous studies concentrated on comparing the costs of military owned housing with housing allowances that are provided to personnel who rent or purchase civilian housing. This study complements previous efforts by investigating the preferences of military families for different kinds of housing, the methods they use to find housing at new locations, and the factors that are important in their choice of housing. The data for these investigations were collected through a survey of families assigned to 12 bases with varying housing situations. The analyses and the survey data should be of interest to policy makers and analysts concerned with military housing programs, the support of active duty families, and the role of housing benefits in the compensation package. Readers interested only in the findings of the study should focus on the first two chapters. The other chapters will be of interest to readers interested in the analytic methods and detailed results.

This book was released on 2002-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the three primary housing alternatives along with their associated benefits and costs for military members at Robins Air Force Base. Using a case study methodology, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from contract documents, cost records, statements and testimonies to Congress, literature, census data, and interviews with civil engineering, contracting, financial management and legal professionals. This data was analyzed to determine which housing alternative seems to provide the best benefits at the lowest costs for military members and the government. The results of the study indicated that private sector alternatives are less expensive than government provided housing. In addition, it appears that the MHPI is reaching its goals of providing housing faster and at a lower cost to the American taxpayer than traditional on base housing.

Book excerpt: DoD estimates that about 200,000 military family housing (MFH) units are old, lack modern amenities, & require renovation or replacement. To improve MFH more economically & faster, Congress authorized a 5-year pilot program, termed the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI), to allow private sector financing, ownership, operation, & maintenance of military housing. This report reviews the implementation of the MHPI to determine the status of current & planned MFH privatization projects, examine the accuracy of life-cycle cost analyses for proposed projects, & asses progress toward integrating the initiative with other MFH programs.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renovating or replacing 168,000 inadequate military family housing units using traditional military construction methods would take over 20 years and cost about $16 billion. In 1996, to improve housing faster and more economically, Congress authorized the Military Housing Privatization Initiative to allow private-sector financing, ownership, operation, and maintenance of military housing. At the request of the Subcommittee on Military Construction, House Committee on Appropriations, GAO examined the reliability of military housing needs assessments, as well as achievement of privatization financial goals and government protections in contract provisions.
Book Synopsis Development of a System to Determine the Economically Optimal Combination of Housing for an Air Force Installation by : Johnathan E. Hendrix
Download or read book Development of a System to Determine the Economically Optimal Combination of Housing for an Air Force Installation written by Johnathan E. Hendrix and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Military is faced with the decision of how to house it's military members and their families. The three options available to house these families are: 1) utilize existing on-base housing; 2) build new on-base housing; or, 3) compensate a military family monetarily to find housing off- base. This research focused on the development of a tool to all the decision maker in determining what combination of the three options is economically optimal for an individual Air Force Installation. The model developed incorporates the costs associated to the local area and conditions at the specific installation to determine the cost associated with each of the three housing options. Current Air Force Policy is to house military families Off-Base once all existing housing On-Base is occupied. Only if the local community can not meet the housing requirements of the Air Force Installation will funds be appropriated to build new housing. This current policy forces housing decisions to be made without the benefit of understanding the economically optimal combination. The model developed identifies this optimal combination to the user, as well as the savings to Installation if it is used. By changing the input into the model, any Air Force Installation could identify the economically optimal housing strategy. Performing sensitivity analysis on the variables used in the decision process will display the effect of any changes in the value of the input variables. Overall, the model provides a decision tool that can be used to make better informed decisions and can be easily manipulated to produce the economically optimal combination of housing for any Air Force Installation.
Book Synopsis Military Housing by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Military Housing written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) plans to spend about $9.8 billion in fiscal year 2004 to provide housing for about 711,000 families of activeduty military personnel in the United States. DOD's policy for some time has been to rely on housing in the local communities and provide military-owned or privatized military housing when the communities cannot satisfy requirements. Historically, DOD has viewed private sector housing as more cost-effective. In January 2003, DOD approved a revised housing requirements determination process designed to provide a solid basis for justifying on-base family housing needs. GAO looked at whether (1) reliance on community housing remains costeffective, (2) the revised process has resulted in consistent and reliable needs assessments, and (3) DOD's top-level review of military housing construction proposals could be improved. DOD's policy of relying primarily on local community housing to meet military family housing needs has been and continues to be cost-effective for the federal government. GAO's analysis of DOD's fiscal year 2004 estimated housing costs showed that the annual costs to provide housing for a typical military family were about $13,600 for local community housing, $16,700 for privatized military housing, and $19,000 for military-owned housing. Although DOD's revised housing requirements determination process represents a significant step in the right direction, the process has not resulted in consistent and reliable estimates of military installation housing needs and does not require the services to maximize reliance on local community housing--the least costly housing option. Because DOD has not provided the services with timely detailed guidance addressing the particulars of performing housing requirements assessments, the services often used inconsistent methodologies, questionable assumptions, and outdated information in performing these assessments.
Book Synopsis The Determinants of the Housing Choices of Military Families by : William R. Forster
Download or read book The Determinants of the Housing Choices of Military Families written by William R. Forster and published by . This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) currently spends $8.2 billion dollars a year on military housing and housing allowances and yet there is no empirical model of the housing choices that military families make. This thesis creates a model of the housing choices of military families and then uses the model to predict the effects that changes in several policies would have on the housing decisions of military families. The changes in housing choices are then combined with current 1997 force structure data to predict both the monetary costs and benefits of each policy change. Data from the 1992 Surveys of Officer and Enlisted Personnel and their Spouses are weighted to reflect current force structure levels and are used with the multinomial logit technique of maximum likelihood estimation to develop a model that both gives insight into what factors influence military families' housing decisions as well as how policy changes would affect those housing choices. In particular, changes in policies pertaining to tour length, military pay, and closing costs are investigated. The results from the analyses can assist DOD leadership in making decisions that could save millions in housing costs each year.

Book Synopsis An Economic Evaluation of Variable Housing Allowances in the Colorado Springs Military Housing Area by : William J. Weida
Download or read book An Economic Evaluation of Variable Housing Allowances in the Colorado Springs Military Housing Area written by William J. Weida and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the current Department of Defense Variable Housing Allowance (VHA) Program for military families with dependents. It is exclusively for the Colorado Springs Military Housing Area (MHA), although the methodology could easily be applied to other MHA in the continental United States. For the Colorado Springs MHA, we conclude that VHA entitlements are too low for pay grades 0-1 and E-6 and below. For 0-2, 0-3, and E-7 through E-9, the current VHA entitlement are too high. We were unable to make a determination for 0-4 and above. We also explored the implications of including homeowner imputed rents in Department of Defense VHA calculations. We conclude that if imputed rents were included, VHA would be substantially lower for all pay grades. We recommend that all military members be advised on how their VHA entitlements are calculated, and how the quality of housing they choose affects their respective entitlements. We also recommend that VHA entitlements be updated quarterly between annual VHA surveys by indexing entitlements to housing cost inflation rates. (Author).
