Fort Gordon, Ga. \u2014 <\/strong>Following U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff\u2019s push<\/a>, the U.S. Army will begin unit-by-unit inspections of privatized housing on post at Fort Gordon on Tuesday, April 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff previously secured a commitment<\/a> from the Army to make Ft. Gordon the first-in-the-nation to receive the unit-by-unit inspections \u2014 a key step toward improving housing conditions for military families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the eight-month investigation that I led focused on housing at Fort Gordon, I demanded that the Army conduct unit-by-unit inspections of every single privatized housing unit across the country, and that they begin with Ft. Gordon,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said. <\/strong>\u201cTo see real action happening is a message to military families that their health and safety remains our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last April, Sen. Ossoff unveiled the results of his eight-month bipartisan investigation into the mistreatment and neglect many families<\/a> faced while living in privatized military housing on post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day following the conclusion of his investigation, the Army announced that it would conduct its own investigation<\/a> into the conditions of these housing units at Fort Gordon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Sen. Ossoff revealed the results of his investigation \u2014 which found evidence of mistreatment of military families, ranging from unmet work orders to mold-infested units \u2014 he launched additional inquiries with the Army to\u00a0call for further oversight of privatized military housing in Georgia<\/a> and nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last October, Sen. Ossoff also worked across the aisle to push for bipartisan legislation to boost transparency and improve oversight<\/a> of the housing process for servicemembers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff is also continuing his push for more military housing transparency by launching a bipartisan inquiry<\/a> with Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) to improve the Pentagon\u2019s data collection about privatized housing conditions that pose a risk to military families\u2019 health and safety.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
