ADC Seeking Examples of Affordable Off-Base Housing Plans

April 17, 2019

While recent news coverage has focused on privatized family housing, many service members and military families live off base.
ADC wants to learn more about how communities, regions and states are planning, developing and maintaining quality, affordable housing outside the gate. We are looking for examples of plans, initiatives, organizations or people advancing these issues locally and specific outcomes that have been achieved.
Has your community, region or state implemented successful strategies to tackle the issues of affordability or quality? Do you know thought leaders on this topic who might be valuable for ADC to learn from? Please send your ideas or comments to tford@defensecommunities.org.
