This thesis examines the option of privatizing water utilities, requiring residents of Government Owned Housing (GOH) to pay for all consumption. To assist in the payment, a Water Allowance (WA) would be provided to residents based on the average consumption of local Private Sector Housing (PSH) residents. The goal of this thesis is to determine if implementing a WA would reduce the overall water consumption in GOH. Specifically, it determines the historical usage of water in the Naval...

An analysis of previous efforts to privative military housing and of the current privatization initiative revealed that long-term success requires flexibility to manage the private developers' and U.S. Government's exposure to various types of risks. The objective of this report is to identify how the Department of Defense has applied the lessons of early privatization efforts to manage risks and to guarantee success of the current Military Housing Privatization Initiative. Reviews of...

The complexity of the current system of housing allowances has hampered efforts by DoD to explain this system to Congress. As a result, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) is reviewing the policy and considering the possibility of making major changes in it. This report provides information to support OSD's deliberations. In particular, it provides data on recent trends in the demand for housing by households outside DoD, as well as data from the recent economics literature on the...

The Early Childhood Initiative (ECI) of Allegheny County (including the city of Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania, was an ambitious effort to provide high-quality early care and education (ECE) services to at-risk children. Launched in 1996 under the auspices of the United Way (UW) of Allegheny County, ECI aimed within five years to serve 7,600 at-risk children ages zero (birth) to five in 80 low-income neighborhoods, at an average cost of $4,000 to $5,000 per child and a total cost of $59 million over...

This is our report on the Audit of Financial Management of Armed Forces Retirement Homes. The audit was conducted from February to June 1990. Our objective was to evaluate all aspects of financial management of the Armed Forces retirement homes. In addition, we evaluated internal controls over financial management areas. The Armed Forces retirement homes consist of the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home (USSAH) in Washington, D.C., and the Naval Home in Gulfport, Mississippi. In FY 1989, the...

The FY 1984 Military Construction Authorization Act (Public Law 98-115, Section 801) authorized a pilot program for build-to-lease family housing projects. The program is available to installations with a valid housing shortage that can be satisfied economically through a 20-year lease. As of August 1992, a total of 14,613 units had been completed or were in process.

Most of us at some time have stopped to watch the construction of a house. It is interesting to watch the successive stages of the project and the activity of workers engaged in the various tasks necessary to reach the desired product. This simple example is useful in considering aspects of the planning problem. The planning problem is to find some plan that can guide the activity of an agent or agents to achieve a desired goal. The particular subproblem considered here is that of resolving...

This paper describes a statistical procedure developed to analyze the mobility experience of households who participated in an experimental test of housing allowances. Although the procedure was designed for administrative records, it is generally applicable to other longitudinal microdata that are 'censored' by short periods of observation. The procedure's application here shows the major role played by eligibility requirements in the mobility of housing allowance recipients. It also...

The U.S. Air Force used the chlorinated pesticide chlordane to control termites around base housing until it was banned in 1988. As bases are closed, contracted, or realigned, soil issues associated with this pesticide must be addressed. One issue that is not well understood is chlordane volatility. There are documented cases where chlordane applied to soil resulted in vapor intrusion into buildings; however, all these cases involved freshly applied pesticides. The effect of aging and weather...

This report was developed as part of an ongoing review initiated by GAO to determine if the services properly identify and justify the need for new construction of unaccompanied personnel housing. We are reporting on the SOTAS/QUICK FIX projects because we believe the Army should evaluate the need for facilities originally intended to meet SOTAS requirements before proceeding with construction.

Vandenberg Space Shuttle contractor costs exceeded Air Force budget expectations by approximately 100 million dollars in Fiscal Year 1982. This paper presents the results of an investigation of this cost overrun. The primary cause was discovered to be Air Force underestimates of contractor labor costs. Space shuttle contractors were paying out higher than expected salaries and wages to attract scientists, engineers, and technicians to the Vandenberg area. A major cause of increased salaries and...

In recent years increased amounts of dimension lumber have been used per mobile home unit. This is a result of increasingly stringent construction standards adopted during the mid-1970's and because the average size per unit has increased. The demand for conventional exteriors in double-wide mobile homes has brought about large increases in the use of softwood and hardwood plywood. Gypsum board has been used increasingly as an alternative to hardwood plywood for interior walls. (Author)
