 Army Materiel Command kicked off the new year by hosting an Army Housing Summit January 14th through 16th. During the summit, leaders reviewed improvements made across the enterprise since assuming responsibility for all Army housing almost a year ago, and developed strategies to move forward. AMC Commander General Gus Perna outlined his vision for Army Housing. I want every installation to be a family's number one choice to live. When that family gets orders and they're told they're going to ex-installation, there ought to be jubilance in that family because they are convinced it's the best installation to be at. As AMC drives toward change, he said the Army must continue to maintain the trust and confidence of the soldiers, civilians, veterans, and families living on installations. Since March 2019, AMC has implemented several programs and initiatives to improve the quality of housing. AMC hired more than a hundred additional staff at installation housing offices to provide quality assurance checks. It allows us to have all homes checked between occupancies, all life, health, and safety work orders checked, and 5% of all work orders checked. AMC has also revised incentive fees for private housing companies to better account for resident and installation commander feedback, and all privatized housing companies rolled out mobile apps or web portals to help residents submit and track work orders with ease. It also joins the Air Force and Navy in developing a resident bill of rights that will empower those living in military housing to hold providers accountable. While there is still work to do, Perna said AMC is heading in the right direction. We have not come together and had this holistic view across all the Army installations in my lifetime. And I think this is just important for us so that we can strengthen our partnership, figure out what initiatives we need, and drive towards our desired end state.
