         Congress ha-91 Adthorized the Epartuent of Defense (DOD)
to construct an addiion'ail 20 family housing units, estimated
to cost $24.6 millioi'- t the Nav '3 IxIdert Submarine Base &t
Bangor, itashinqton. THe idditonai 520 units are not reeded. DOD
housinq survey procedures inadequately projected future housing
supply. The community Is responding to its housing ,eeds;. the
development rate is above the 13% to 25% rate a study noted was
req uired for I rident 4 general community tamilies  eteen 1975
and 1985. Most Trident military families are able to afford
housinq in the commun it . Since the Navy justifies building
onbase housing based on need, the assigntent of oiibase housing
should be allocated first to those who can least a&ford to live
in the com3anity. It war. estimated that., over the estimated
useful life ot Government-cwned housing units (t5 years), it
would cost the Government about $51,568 per unit more to provide
housinq on the base than to pay basic allowance for quarters.
The Secretary of Defense should: cancel construction plans for
the 520 aousing units, annually assesE the need for onbase
nousinq at Trident, and direct the Navy to give priozity in
assiqninq onbase housing to lowr-qrae& e.iqib-e personnel.
