(Jacquelyn Martin\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have a very large footprint with a large number of bases. All of them have housing. And I would love nothing more than to be able to renovate all of the housing around the country that needs to be renovated in a single year. But we are not able to do that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The housing focus comes on the heels of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2021\/12\/23\/private-military-housing-company-pleads-guilty-to-fraud\/\">a massive fraud case involving one of the largest providers<\/a>&nbsp;of military housing in the United States. Balfour Beatty Communities LLC, which oversees about 1,700 homes at bases in Georgia and Texas, faced widespread claims of negligence and failure to do repairs. The company pleaded guilty in December to committing fraud against the United States from 2013 to 2019, was ordered to pay $65.4 million in fines and restitution and was placed under an independent compliance monitor for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Senate panel earlier this year found that the company continues to respond inadequately to mold and other structural problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., criticized Army leaders for not addressing problems at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2021\/06\/14\/these-37-army-bases-are-providing-all-privatized-housing-tenant-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fort Leonard Wood<\/a>, saying he\u2019s been given conflicting reports on what, if any, housing replacements would be funded at the base in his state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was told last year there were $341 million that were going to be allocated towards replacing housing. Then I was told later only $50 million would be available to Fort Leonard Wood. And then I was told after that it would be zero,\u201d Hawley told Wormuth during the hearing. \u201cYou can imagine I\u2019m not very happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wormuth promised to nail down the correct answer, but again warned that repair money for the base may not be in the budget for fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe try to look where the need is most pressing and sort of develop a schedule,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I\u2019d be happy to look into it. And I understand that you\u2019re frustrated hearing different things at different times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials noted that the Army submitted a separate request to Congress that outlined projects that aren\u2019t funded in the budget that would also be priorities, and thy include an additional $330 million for housing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That additional money, said Warren, should be included in the Army\u2019s base budget, if, indeed, housing is a priority as leaders say. And she questioned why the $1.9 billion total for housing in the main budget request is 40% smaller than the current budget would provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Army, the $1.9 billion budget request is actually a 12% increase over last year\u2019s request. Congress, however, voted to add nearly $1.5 billion in military construction funds to that request, resulting in a total of more than $3.2 billion for the year. Congress has not yet acted on the proposed budget, so has not added funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gen. James McConville, the chief of staff of the Army, told senators the Army is doing all it can to ensure quality housing and other services for troops. \u201cWhen our soldiers get the call that it\u2019s time to deploy, we want them laser focused on their mission, knowing that their families will be well taken care of at home,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee pressed top Army leaders during a hearing to spend money on military housing in their states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":29574,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":70,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["your-military","news","pentagon-congress","left-column","home"],"primary_category":"your-military"}}},"categories":[100,23,92,12,25,68,70],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1334],"class_list":["post-30009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-left-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-pentagon-congress","category-your-army"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"QKNKL7EHSFBZTIDFQR5FYC5QKE","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-army\/2022\/05\/05\/army-pressed-to-fix-dilapidated-base-housing-by-senators\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Army pressed to fix dilapidated base housing by senators - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee pressed top Army leaders during a hearing to spend money on military housing in their states.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Army pressed to fix dilapidated base housing by senators\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Members of the Senate Armed Services Committee pressed top Army leaders during a hearing to spend money on military housing in their states.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2022\/05\/05\/army-pressed-to-fix-dilapidated-base-housing-by-senators\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-05T22:32:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T02:48:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lolita C.
