Reductions In Coast Guard Leased Housing

Can Achieve Savings


The Coast Guard leases about 4,000 housing
units nationwide for its servicemembers
Costs were estimated to be about $6 million a
year more than the cost of allowances its
members would have been entitled to in fiscal
year 1982 if they had obtained their own
housing

The Coast Guard's primary justification for
leasing is that government quarters are not
available and obtaining adequate private
housing near Coast Guard installations would
create an undue financial hardship on its
servicemembers

GAO found that the Coast Guard's internal
surveys used to determine private housing
costs overstated these costs and thereby the
need for leasing

GAO is recommending that the Coast Guard
rely more on the housing allowances autho-
rized by Congress and phase out leased
housing except in areas with limited housing
