The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) privatized military housing starting in 1996, with the passage of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) under the National Defense Authorization Act. The MHPI allowed private companies to build, renovate, and manage military housing on DOD installations. The goal of the program was to improve the quality of housing for military families and to free up DOD resources to focus on other priorities. 

Bureau Veritas, together with our industry partners, and on behalf of responsible Army, Air Force, and DOD activities, is performing inspections and condition assessments for military housing at installations around the world. Similar work is being done by others for the Navy. The effort is critical to setting a baseline understanding of the conditions and needs across all housing, but even this is just a snapshot in time that will soon be out of date if it does not become an ongoing program of inspection, assessment, and oversight.
