Military Family Housing

Opportunities to Improve Operations and Maintenance of Military Family Housing Gao ID: NSIAD-88-204 September 23, 1988

In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Department of Defense (DOD) Family Housing Program operations and maintenance to determine whether DOD managed the program in the most economical manner.

GAO found that there were three areas in which DOD family housing operations and maintenance needed attention, including the: (1) use of substantially more electricity and natural gas than private sector residences; (2) authorization for private cleaning services when military housing residents moved, at an estimated cost of $51 million; and (3) unavailability of critically needed units because maintenance and repairs frequently took too long to complete.
