## Summary

**Focuses on expanding affordable off-installation housing for service members by building local and private partnerships.** The bill would require the Secretary of Defense to brief Congress on actions taken and planned to increase housing access. The briefing must identify high cost-of-living locations and rural areas near remote installations where affordability is worst, summarize current or planned efforts and any memoranda of understanding with local governments or housing providers, identify public-private or community development initiatives that could be used, assess possible landlord or city incentives such as waived security deposits, rents below the monthly basic allowance for housing, application fee discounts, and flexible lease terms, describe Department of Defense collaboration with local governments and developers to spur off-base construction, and recommend any legislative or policy changes to reduce housing insecurity for service members.
