By COREY DICKSTEIN | STARS AND STRIPES Published: March 10, 2021 Lawmakers continue to hear of unacceptable living conditions in privately run, on-base military housing more than one year after passing major reforms meant to address those issues, they told executives running some of the largest companies in charge of maintaining the residences. “We have heard and seen firsthand horror stories in these houses, from mold, to water leaks to incorrect lead abatement that has directly affected the health and safety of these families,” said Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., who is the chairwoman of the House Armed Services Committee’s subpanel on military personnel. “I have visited Fort Hood [in Texas] and met military families who have been living in these unacceptable housing conditions, who have seen their children suffer health problems after mold consumed their homes and belongings — even a baby’s crib. You are solely responsible for the correction of these defects and the management of these properties.”
