Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) paid active duty military personnel over $18 billion in housing allowances in FY 2010. DoD sets housing allowance rates annually based on market costs of rent, utilities, and renter¿s insurance. Also, DoD has identified 26 installations significantly impacted by expected growth in personnel due to various rebasing actions. This report reviewed DoD¿s rate-setting process, among other issues. The report determined: (1) whether there are enhancements to strengthen DoD¿s rate-setting process; and (2) whether service members have encountered challenges in obtaining off-base housing. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.
