I just hope this raises a caution flag on moving forward on barracks and unaccompanied housing because I don't trust them.

The privatization process is a failure in terms of maintaining the quality of life of housing.

And quite frankly, addressing global warming and climate change, and the impact it has on the deterioration of our infrastructure certainly is a quality-of-life issue.

the responsiveness with military family housing has been atrocious, so much so that we had to put in $130 million and then $140 million in the last 2 years for oversight at the military leadership

the goal is prevention.

that shows the importance that we have as an organization in solving this problem.

Are the Navy and the Marines doing something similar to more granularly zero in on your own data in your service rather than the general across the board DoD service like the Army has?

I mean, forcing a robbing of Peter to pay Paul, and on top of that, adding a capped situation really squeezes VA on the decisions that they can make.

I want to hear from each of you how you are analyzing the degree to which increases are due to increased reporting or increases in sexual assaults in your branch of service.

Thank you. And now that the reporting is outside the chain of command thanks to a change in the law and the President's executive order this should be a priority because you have that mechanism.

Eventually the consequences are that you could end up having more and more moves toward privatization, more restrictions on the ability of the VA to fully serve the veterans.
