6-D-5. Private Ownership. Privately owned items may not receive
financial support from either appropriated or non-
appropriated funds. Private ownership support includes
that provided to privately owned recreational vehicles,
boats, or horses that are operated, maintained, moored,
or stabled by MWR activities. Such support will be
provided on a reimbursable basis only.
6. Child Care. Coast Guard facilities may be used for
military and civilian child care centers and
administrative offices for dependent care programs. For
military child care programs, appropriated funds are also
authorized for child development center directors,
assistant directors, supervisory staff, administrative
clerks, and for monitoring programs to ensure child
safety and quality care in Government facilities, and to
guard against potential Government liability. Generally,
costs directly related to the care of dependents,
including care-giver wages, may be paid from appropriated
or non-appropriated funds. APF support for other than
center based care (e.g., family day care/home referral
services) will be considered family support costs and
will not be budgeted, accounted for, or reported as MWR
costs.
E. Funding. Unless otherwise specified, the following general
rules apply to the funding of the MWR program. Funding
policy and guidelines are in section 6-D above and must be
followed.

extent possible and permitted with appropriated funds:
2. equipment for MWR program administration, outfitting MWR
facilities, or to support MWR activities is generally

locker items, see 5-b-13 for. type of gear lockers, etc.);
