2. The Military has changed in the last 35 years
Volunteer versus Draft
Over 60% of the military are married with dependents
Over two thirds live “on the economy”
Still relocate every 2-3 years, on average
Investment in training requires reenlistment
“Recruitment and Retention” is essential
“You recruit an individual, but you retain a family”

3. Military Housing Statistics
As of 1995, over 250,000 housing units were owned by DOD domestically
Over 2/3rd’s were deemed inadequate (yet most were occupied)
The bill for rehabilitation & renovation: $30 billion (and unfunded)
DOD didn’t want to be a landlord anymore
As of 2010 over 200,000 DOD housing units have been privatized

4. Background Information
Largest group of relocating families in the United States is the military
Over 750,000 military families relocate annually
More to come due to Basic Realignment And Closure (BRAC)
BRAC must be complete by Sept. 30, 2011 and significantly behind schedule.

5. Misinformation – The Military are poorly paid
Military raises exceed civilian raises in government
Bonuses have been as high as $150,000 (Special Force’s, hostile environment, 8 year re-enlistment)
$90,000 re-enlistment bonuses are not uncommon
~40% of Regular Military Compensation is from allowances
An O6 (Colonel) with 20 year’s has an RMC of $151K

6. Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
Done by Runzheimer for the past 12 years
Over one million military members receive this allowance
Based upon real and available properties
Inadequate properties eliminated
Must be year-round rentals
No seasonals, furnished, efficiencies, subsidized units
FMR’s vs. BAH
350,000 data points collected annually
All properties verified
BAH set at median for properties in a given area
No more Out-Of-Pocket costs
Updated annually (January 1)

7. How has the military member traditionally found housing?
Contact the housing office
Talk to friends assigned there
Internet: Rents.com, Apartments.com, etc.
Show up at the front gate, with dependents in tow, resulting in:
Temporary Quarters
Temporary Storage

8. So what’s the solution? www.AHRN.com
BAH determines Affordability
BAH addresses Adequacy
Availability can still be a problem
Available properties only
Exclusively for the military
Sponsored and funded by DOD and the Service Branches
No charge to Property Managers
Unlimited listings
