NASM housing below average

WASHINGTON - The Navy has released additional details from its 2019 Summary of the Navy Public Private Venture (PPV) Housing ‘Out of Cycle’ Survey conducted from April 2-May 9 based on concerns with privatized family housing. The independent surveyor CEL & Associates provided the results for Commander Navy Installations Command, and is available here. In July, the Navy released a redacted version of the “out of cycle” survey to allow PPV partners enough time to develop corrective action plans. The Navy has released the rest of the results to enhance transparency for residents who participated, now that the housing providers have identified corrective actions. Action plans are in progress or will soon begin, once they're reviewed by Navy business agreement managers and Navy region and installation leadership. Each installation action plan is tied to specific concerns raised by residents in the out-of-cycle survey that warrant action by installation property managers. The Navy is the non-managing member. Public Private Venture housing partners are the managing members. The Navy’s six PPV partners are Balfour Beatty (BBC), Clark, Hunt, Landmark, Lincoln, and Patrician. Balfour Beatty manages 11 installations in the Southeast (5 of 6 listed below). Patrician operates about 900 family housing units at NAS/JRB New Orleans. Survey results for six Gulf Coast area bases housing units, and the results, included a No. 15 rating among 42 bases in these results for NAS Whiting Field, Fla., which got a “good” rating at 77.6 percent; No. 18 for NAS/JRB New Orleans, which got a “good” rating at 75.3 percent; No. 25 for NCBC Gulfport, Miss., which got an “average” rating at 71.3 percent; No. 28 for NAS Pensacola, Fla., which got a “below average” rating at 63 percent; No. 37 for NAS Meridian, Miss., which got a “below average” rating at 64.3 percent; and No. 39 for NSA Panama City, Fla., which got a “poor” rating at 62.3 percent.
