Opening Remarks<br />

Why Privatize?<br />

• To provide quality, modern, affordable homes in a<br />

military community where our service members and<br />

their families would choose to live<br />

• To better steward Government resources in the<br />

maintenance and management <strong>of</strong> homes for our service<br />

members and their families<br />

• To accomplish housing and community improvements<br />

in a shorter timeframe than traditional military funding<br />

processes<br />
