Military Housing Wait Times Accountability Act
This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to provide temporary housing for military members and their dependents who wait 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 member's standard housing allowance. Within 180 days of enactment, the Department must submit a detailed report to Congress on waitlist numbers, wait durations, contributing factors, and reasons for waits exceeding 10 days. It directly affects service members and families facing extended housing wait times during relocations. The bill focuses on setting a clear timeline for temporary housing and creating transparency through mandatory reporting.
