Safe and Beautiful\u201d executive order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The length of the D.C. task force\u2019s mission, which kicked off in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/feature\/DCsafeandbeautifultaskforce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" title=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/feature\/DCsafeandbeautifultaskforce\">August 2025<\/a>, has made current lodging arrangements unsustainable, a Guard release stated. Mobilized troops have been staying in hotels throughout the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Guard is hoping a long-term housing remedy will improve overall quality of life and flexibility for those mobilized while reducing taxpayer expenses, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguard.mil\/News\/Article-View\/Article\/4553683\/national-guard-awards-contract-to-support-mobilized-dc-troops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nationalguard.mil\/News\/Article-View\/Article\/4553683\/national-guard-awards-contract-to-support-mobilized-dc-troops\/\">release<\/a> stated. The acquisition process was reportedly completed in under three months, \u201cdespite an agency-level vendor protest, which was reviewed and denied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis contract delivers stable, secure housing for our soldiers and airmen while achieving significant cost savings for the government,\u201d Monica Williams, executive director of acquisitions and head of contracting activity for the National Guard Bureau, said in the release. \u201cWe were able to move quickly to meet mission requirements and provide a long-term solution for deployed personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contract pricing, according to Guard and GSA figures, is \u201cabout 49% below projected short-term commercial hotel costs and 27% below standard GSA schedule pricing for lodging and housekeeping services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new arrangement comes on the heels of a May 28 report, meanwhile, that assessed that the 2,000-plus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/01\/17\/guard-troops-to-stay-on-dc-streets-through-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2026\/01\/17\/guard-troops-to-stay-on-dc-streets-through-2026\/\">National Guard<\/a> troops to have participated in the D.C. task force have had \u201cno measurable effect on violent crime.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report, published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niskanencenter.org\/washington-dc-crime-decline-and-its-lessons-for-american-policing\/#efficient-policing-vs-the-national-guard-a-cost-effectiveness-comparison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.niskanencenter.org\/washington-dc-crime-decline-and-its-lessons-for-american-policing\/#efficient-policing-vs-the-national-guard-a-cost-effectiveness-comparison\">by the Niskanen Center<\/a>, described the Guard deployments as \u201can expensive tool\u201d used in \u201cthe wrong places for the wrong types of crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers cited the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2026\/01\/29\/guard-deployments-to-us-cities-cost-496-million-in-2025-cbo-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2026\/01\/29\/guard-deployments-to-us-cities-cost-496-million-in-2025-cbo-says\/\">$607 average<\/a> daily cost per Guard member in the nation\u2019s capital, compared with $384 in pay for Metropolitan Police Department officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robbery and other violent crime rates in the D.C. area had also decreased prior to the Guard deployment, the report said. Those numbers were not impacted by the military operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the report\u2019s authors stopped short of calling the deployment a waste, noting that there was a 24% decline in opportunistic property crime recorded in the first six months of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe brought 2,500 Guardsmen in from 15 states and the District of Columbia, and you all have done an amazing job,\u201d Gen. Steve Nordhaus, chief of the National Guard Bureau, told troops in D.C. in July. \u201c[Since arriving] you saved over 235 lives. You\u2019ve done over 530 medical assistances to personnel, you restored children back to their families 27 times, and you have done amazing things in support of law enforcement to make sure we reduce crime.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Guard has awarded Placemakr, an apartment-hotel curation company, $292 million for 2,000 &#8220;apartment-style&#8221; units for troops deployed to D.C. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":109718,"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":[]},"categories":[100,12,25,70],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3407],"class_list":["post-85424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-army"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"3LTTR7JURNGRXINYKIEETT25JY","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-military\/2026\/07\/24\/national-guard-awards-292-million-for-2000-apartment-style-units-for-dc-deployments\/","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>National Guard awards $292 million for 2,000 \u2018apartment-style\u2019 units for DC deployments - Army Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The National Guard has awarded Placemakr, an apartment-hotel curation company, $292 million for 2,000 &quot;apartment-style&quot; units for troops deployed to D.C.\" \/>\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=\"National Guard awards $292 million for 2,000 \u2018apartment-style\u2019 units for DC deployments\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The National Guard has awarded Placemakr, an apartment-hotel curation company, $292 million for 2,000 &quot;apartment-style&quot; units for troops deployed to D.C.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2026\/07\/24\/national-guard-awards-292-million-for-2000-apartment-style-units-for-dc-deployments\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Army Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-07-24T16:05:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T17:24:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.D.
