A major expense for junior
enlisted soldiers has always
been paying for housing when
quarters are not available. But
recently Congress approved an
act that will authorize up to 300
two-bedroom houses to be built
at Fort Hood especially for sol-
diers E4-E6 who draw basic
allowance for quarters at the
ith-dependent rate.
THE MILITARY onstruc-
tion Authorization Act of 1984
authorized two pilot programs
to test alternative sources for
ern en housing. hose

VanSchoelandt. He said as of
Jan. 8 there are 1736 junior
NCOs on the waiting list for two
bedroom houses.
There are several features of
the program that differ from
the Arm y’s traditional way of
building and maintaining hous-
ing. nder the program houses
ust be financed and built by a
private developer to epart-
ent of Defense specifications
according to anSchoelandt.
