HR 5972 United States House · 118th Congress

Military Housing Wait Times Accountability Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to provide temporary housing for military members and their families waiting more than 10 days for on-base housing after a permanent move. The temporary housing must match the family's size and cost no more than the standard housing allowance for the member. It also mandates a detailed report to Congress within 180 days, including waitlist data, average wait times, causes of delays, and reasons for waitlists exceeding 10 days. The law directly affects military families facing housing delays during base relocations.
