Privatized military housing is making service members and their families sick at alarming rates, survey finds

A new survey finds that nearly every service member living in privatized military housing has experienced serious problems in their home and many of those issues go unresolved. The Change the Air Foundation recently launched the Safe Military Housing Survey, one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to collect data the Defense Department has never been able to track accurately. The nonprofit found that three quarters of respondents were dealing with mold and microbial growth, which is extremely hazardous to a person's health. For more, Federal News Network’s Anastasia Obis spoke with Erica Thompson, a military spouse and the military families’ liaison for the Change the Air Foundation, and Brandon Chappo, director of public policy at the foundation.
