§2831 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

Creates a single Treasury account for managing money for military family housing. Money put into the account comes from three sources: money Congress gives for building, buying, leasing, moving, operating, maintaining, and disposing of family housing (including principal, interest, insurance, and mortgage insurance required by section 222(c) of the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C. 1715m(c))); rent and reimbursements from residents for services, utilities, and damages, plus payments from other agencies; and money from selling or disposing of family housing and related land, minus expenses required by section 572(a) of title 40. Funds in the account stay available until spent. The Secretary in charge may obligate funds as allowed by appropriation laws to pay these costs. The Secretary may not start a maintenance or repair project on a unit used or intended for a general officer or flag officer if the work could make that unit’s total operation, maintenance, and repair costs for the fiscal year go over $35,000, until 14 days after the Secretary sends the relevant congressional committees an electronic justification under section 480 that explains the need and gives a cost estimate.
