Coast Guard Housing Affordability and Availability Improvement Act

The Coast Guard Housing Affordability and Availability Improvement Act requires the Commandant of the Coast Guard to submit a report to Congress within one year of enactment, detailing progress on implementing recommendations from a February 5, 2024, Government Accountability Office (GAO) report about Coast Guard housing. That GAO report (GAO-24-106388) identified ways to improve housing program feedback collection and information systems. The bill does not create new housing policies or directly affect Coast Guard members but mandates a review of how the Coast Guard is addressing prior recommendations. This report will provide Congress with information on whether efforts to enhance housing affordability and availability for Coast Guard personnel are advancing.
