The Hill, July 10, 2024, Lawmakers Call For Pentagon To Address ‘Poor’ Military Housing Conditions
A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Wednesday called for the Defense Department to address “poor living conditions” at military houses for service members and their families, pointing to particular concerns with private companies that oversee housing with what the congressional group considers to be unfair contracts.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, lawmakers said the military’s “decades-old, terrible deals with private companies to provide military housing” has failed service members and their families.
