Air Force Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) accelerates our ability to provide military families access to safe, quality, affordable, well-maintained housing in a community where they CHOOSE to live. Through a deal between the private sector and the government, it is possible to achieve this goal and keep military families in Air Force communities.
About MHPI
Today, more than 38 percent of Air Force Family Housing does not meet modern standards and requires either major improvement or replacement. The MHPI Initiative, incorporated in the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, allows the Air Force to use privately financed and built housing, constructed to market standards. The Department of Defense (DoD) has tasked the Air Force to upgrade all required inadequate housing by Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. To accomplish this mandate, the Air Force has launched an aggressive program to revitalize all Military Housing units through a combination of traditional military construction and privatization.
The Air Force has scheduled 38 housing projects for privatization, which will include up to 32,000 housing units throughout the United States at a cost of approximately $4 billion.
The Deal
The Government's goal is to provide private sector business alternatives to traditional military housing construction projects. Privatization is a public private partnership and it is vital that this program be predictable and understandable to our industry partners.
The success of a project is based on a long-term commitment between the Government and the private developer. Private developers will lease the land (often at a nominal cost), construct or renovate existing military housing developments, and have priority military rental referrals to fund the new privatized developments.
Government and private sector unite
to build quality homes for military families.
