The U.S. Army announced a $1.1 billion deal with a private management firm to provide private funds to improve housing conditions for thousands of soldiers and their families at six of the service s installations.
The service approved the Jan. 5 deal with Lendlease, a company that has partnered with it to own and operate housing on multiple bases, according to an Army news release. The private-sector funding will allow Lendlease to accelerate its previously planned sustainment program at Army installations by more than 10 years.
