Abstract:

The Navy and Marine Corps, to improve housing at military bases, have launched a public-private partnership. As a result, private companies have begun replacing or refurbishing base housing for Marine Corps and Navy families. Privatizing military housing is a Presidential and Secretary of Defense management priority and is recognized as a key item on the administrations agenda to improve the quality of life for our service members. These public-private ventures PPVs will significantly improve the quality of life for Marine families residing in base housing because they offer an increased quantity and improved quality of housing, a more responsive maintenance plan, and a cost savings to the Marine Corps. PPV also contributes to retention and unit readiness.
