Military Housing: Installations Need to Share Information for On-Base Housing Contracts

The Department of Defense (DOD) awarded eight contracts for construction of on-base housing, and the GAO assessed 1) the status of contracts for on-base Section 801 military housing; 2) the estimated costs to DOD and local communities that would result from the general public occupying this housing; and 3) the extent to which DOD and the services share information on modifications to the contracts and community interaction experiences. The GAO recommends that DOD develop a communications process among installations with Section 801 housing to share information regarding any contract changes.
