Further, as part of a renewed effort to improve space usage, consistent with the Unified Facilities Criteria on Installation Master Planning UFC , the Components have identified an additional The Department will continue working with the Defense Components to develop and implement more effective and efficient methods of eliminating excess infrastructure. Shuttering a building involves removing it from active use, disconnecting its utilities, and rendering it inaccessible to unauthorized personnel.
Such procedures all but eliminate operating costs and keep unneeded facilities from being used for inappropriate purposes. For those reasons, shuttered buildings still ultimately need to be removed from installations. Cost limits for the leasing of rental housing and the criteria for the annual adjustments of those cost limits are also established under this legislation.
Factors considered in making such a determination include the need for military indoctrination, mentoring, or team building; operational or mission requirements; housing availability; and location. The Department strives to ensure permanent party UH meets minimum standards for size and configuration, privacy, safety and condition.
Further, to be suitable for assignment or occupancy, UH should be furnished; structurally sound; and have food service options, adequate utility systems, and no serious safety hazards.
Military Family Housing The DoD has a responsibility to ensure that eligible personnel and their families have access to affordable, quality housing, that is consistent with grade and dependent status, and that reflects contemporary community living standards. The Department satisfies these housing requirements through either the allocation of a housing allowance or the creation of an appropriate housing facility through construction or renovation.
It is DoD policy to rely on the private sector as the primary source of housing for military families, unaccompanied officers, and unaccompanied senior-enlisted personnel stationed within the U. In the U. The Department maintains an inventory of housing for situations in which there is not suitable, available housing in the community. To determine whether the community adjacent to a military installation can accommodate military housing needs, the Military Services are required to perform a Housing Requirements and Market Analysis HRMA.
If an HRMA determines that the local community cannot adequately meet the needs of the military community, the Military Service may elect to address the requirement through a military construction MilCon project; leased housing; or use of Military Housing Privatization Initiative authorities. Government-Leased Family Housing Section of title 10, United States Code provides DoD the authority to lease family housing in domestic and foreign locations near military installations.
Leased housing is intended to be a temporary solution until a more permanent solution is approved. Service members who live in leased military housing in the U. Privatized Housing The Military Housing Privatization Initiative MHPI was authorized by Congress to attract private sector financing, expertise and innovation in order to provide housing for Service members faster and more efficiently than traditional Military Construction. Under authority delegated by the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments may enter into agreements with private developers, who are selected via a competitive process to own, construct, renovate, maintain and operate family housing on a military installation via a long-term lease.
Under the MHPI authorities, DoD works with the private sector to revitalize military family housing through a variety of financial tools, including direct loans, loan guarantees, equity investments, and the conveyance or leasing of land, housing, or other facilities.
