Housing Authorizations
August 28, 2024
For fiscal year 2025 (FY2025), the Biden Administration requested $17.545 billion for U.S. Department
of Defense (DOD) military construction (MILCON) accounts and family housing programs (a total that is
6% less than the $18.675 billion enacted by Congress for MILCON and family housing in the previous
year).
On May 31, 2024, the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) reported the Servicemember Quality of
Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 (H.R. 8070),
and an accompanying report, H.Rept. 118-529. On June 14, the House passed H.R. 8070, which would
authorize $17.545 billion for DOD MILCON and family housing accounts, equal to the Administration's
requested amount.
On July 8, 2024, the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) reported S. 4638, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, and an accompanying report, S.Rept. 118-188. The legislation
would authorize $20.664 billion for traditional military construction and family housing accounts, 15%
more than the requested amount. The SASC-reported bill would also provide an additional $12.5 billion
to repair Air Force and Navy facilities on Guam that were damaged by a 2023 typhoon. The additional
disaster relief funding-which is not present in H.R. 8070-brings S. 4638's total MILCON and family
housing authorization to $33.169 billion, 89% more than the Administration's requested amount.
Details of the funding levels for selected MILCON and family housing accounts are contained in Table 1.
