WASHINGTON - The Senate Armed Services Committee has proposed $301 million in new funding to enhance housing safety and oversight on U.S. military bases, following Reuters reports documenting squalid conditions in privately run military homes, senior committee staff said Thursday.
Among the measures, military families would get a new tenant bill of rights, allowing them to withhold rent from derelict landlords, and base homes would receive far more frequent inspections. “Military families deserve safe, high quality housing commensurate with the sacrifices they make every day,” Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican on the committee, tweeted Thursday.
