The U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of the Inspector General has found the Pentagon does not adequately track the relationship between adverse conditions in privatized housing and the health of U.S. service members and their families.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), and Rick Scott (R-FL) wrote to U.S. Department of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin requesting answers on the mistreatment of military families.

Dear Secretary Austin:
We write with regard to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which found that the Pentagon does not adequately track the relationship between adverse conditions in privatized housing and the health of U.S. service members and their families.
The health and safety of our military families must be a top priority. However, the OIG report stated, “because DoD officials did not have readily available access to sufficient information to connect health and safety incidents to PMH [privatized military housing], they were unable to effectively monitor and ensure the health and safety of its service members and their families.” Due to this lack of information, the military services were unable to consistently track housing conditions that may have led to asthma, lead poisoning, cancers, and other adverse conditions among service members and their families.
Accordingly, we request a prompt response to the following questions:
Sincerely,
