Bill > HR7212

This bill, the Military HOMES Act, proposes several key provisions to address issues with military housing: 1. It requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to establish guidance on reimbursing military families for personal property losses due to mold damage and how to manage their return to housing units during mold mitigation. 2. It mandates the DoD to publicly disclose the criteria and metrics used to analyze the performance of landlords that receive incentive fees for managing military housing. 3. It directs the DoD to establish a working group to develop guidance on best practices for mold mitigation in privatized military housing. 4. It expands the uniform code of basic housing standards and the housing inspection and assessment plan to include government-owned and government-controlled military family housing, not just privatized housing. 5. It requires the establishment of an Exceptional Family Member Program housing liaison in each military department to assist military families enrolled in the program in obtaining necessary services. 6. It requires the DoD to report on its progress in implementing recommendations from a Government Accountability Office report on oversight and management of privatized military housing.
