Air Force Announces Forum for Large Military Housing Privatization Project

As part of its ongoing Military Housing Privatization program, the U.S. Air Force is seeking a developer for a project involving installations at Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma, Luke AFB in Arizona and Sheppard AFB in Texas.

This single initiative involves privatization of military family housing at the three bases.

An industry forum for all three bases will begin at Luke AFB, which is near Glendale, AZ, on Tuesday, April 6, and will be followed by briefings and tours at Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, TX, on April 7 and at Altus AFB, Altus, OK, on April 8.

The government will lease more than 842 acres at the three bases and convey more than 2,900 existing housing units and other improvements to one developer who will own and operate 2,062 rental homes for military families for 50 years, as well as finance, plan, design and construct improvements in the development.
