The Air Force will soon begin third-party inspections of its 55,000 privatized homes and 15,000 government-owned homes, it said in a press release. The inspections were mandated by Congress.

“We are always looking for new ways to optimize the base housing program to ensure airmen, guardians and their families are provided what they need to thrive at work and at home,” said Yvonne Brabham, Air Force Housing Division technical director. “These new inspections will give us the information we need to chart a better way forward as we strive to accomplish that goal.”

The inspections will start mid-June at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas and continue through September 2024.
