Congress established the Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) in 1996 as a tool to help the military improve the quality of life for its service members by improving the condition of their housing. The MHPI was designed and developed to attract private sector financing, expertise and innovation to provide necessary housing faster and more efficiently than traditional Military Construction processes would allow. The Office of the Secretary of Defense has delegated to the Military Services the MHPI and they are authorized to enter into agreements with private developers selected in a competitive process to own, maintain and operate family housing via a fifty-year lease. MHPI addresses two significant problems concerning housing for military
Service members and their families: (1) the poor condition of DOD owned
housing, and (2) a shortage of quality affordable private housing. Under
the MHPI authorities, DOD works with the private sector to revitalize
our military family housing through a variety of financial tools-direct
loans, loan guarantees, equity investments, conveyance or leasing of
land and/or housing/and other facilities. Military Service members receive
a Basic Allowance where they can choose to live in private sector housing,
or privatized housing. |
