Summary

Creates a Treasury account called the Department of Defense Military Family Housing Management Account. It must be used to manage money for military family housing programs. The account is run as one fund. Money put into it comes from appropriations for building, buying, leasing, moving, operating, maintaining, and disposing of family housing (including loan and insurance costs), from rent and service payments, from payments for damages, from reimbursements by other agencies, and from proceeds when housing is sold (minus certain disposal costs). Money in the account stays available until it is spent. The relevant military Secretary may obligate the funds as allowed by appropriation laws to pay those costs. The military Secretary may not start a maintenance or repair project on a housing unit used or meant for a general or flag officer if the project could make that unit’s total operation, maintenance, and repair costs for the fiscal year exceed $35,000, until 14 days after the Secretary sends an electronic justification and a cost estimate to the appropriate congressional committees.
