Today’s SASC hearing once again exposed the desperate need for significant reforms to privatized military housing. Health hazards that Tim and I saw when we visited Ft. Belvoir earlier this year still haven't been fixed; military families are still facing unacceptable conditions.
The services have increased their efforts, but it’s not enough. We need fundamental changes – more oversight and accountability for both the military and private housing contractors.
The NDAA, which includes many provisions of my military housing reform legislation, will help drive these reforms forward. We need to pass it ASAP.
