PROJECT: This project constructs 62 new homes and a housing office/storage facility for enlisted families attached to Joint Maritime Facility, St.Mawgan, UK. (Current Mission) REQUIREMENT: This project is required to provide adequate family housing for married personnel and their families. This project includes community recreational facilities in accordance with NAVFACINST 11101.85H. CURRENT SITUATION: Families currently reside in former British Ministry of Defense (MOD) family housing units. The units were privatized and are managed by an agency of the MOD, Defense Housing Executive (DHE). DHE is responsible for these units, but lacks the resources to perform adequate maintenance. Consequently, the units are in poor condition. In addition, the enlisted units are especially small. Enlisted three bedrooms range from 812 NSF to 851 NSF. The small size compounds the problem of living in a rainy and windy area of England where outdoor activities can be limited. Units also lack basic amenities such as playgrounds, storage, and adequate parking. Because of privatization, many units have been sold to private British citizens. The mixing of private individuals and military families precludes a means to secure the area for force protection requirements should an elevated threatcon Community housing is scarce because St. Mawgan is located near the resort town of Newquay which focuses on summer rentals. occur. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: The condition of the current MOD managed family housing will continue to deteriorate. Military members will be forced to choose between involuntary separation from their families or accepting housing that is unsuitable. Either choice will likely lead to poor morale and dissatisfaction with the Navy. Retention of quality personnel will be adversely impacted. The military personnel performing the operational mission at JMF, St.Mawgan are required to work in an underground facility for up to 12 hours a day. A lack of adequate housing worsens an already highly stressful work environment. Project design conforms to Part II of Military Handbook 1190, "Facilities Planning and Design Guide." JOINT USE CERTIFICATION: The Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Logistics) certifies that this project has been considered for joint use potential. This facility will be available for use by other components.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY FAMILY HOUSING - FY 2003 BUDGET ESTIMATE CONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS (In Thousands) FY 2003 Program $139,468 Purpose and Scope This program provides for improvements and/or major repairs to revitalize Department of the Navy (DON) family housing and the supporting neighborhood site and facilities. This program is the primary vehicle for the DON to ensure that our aging inventory of homes are kept suitable for occupancy; as such, this program has a major role in maintaining a high quality of life for DON families. This program funds projects that will increase the useful life and livability of homes and neighborhoods, bring them up to Department of Defense standards, and make them more energy efficient and less costly to maintain. Program Summary Authorization is requested for: (1) Various improvements and/or major repairs to revitalize existing family housing; and (2) Appropriation of $139,468,000 ($123,915,000 for the Navy and $15,553,000 for the Marine Corps) to fund these revitalization projects. (3) We are continuing our emphasis on revitalization through wholehouse projects, which will accomplish all required improvements and repairs at one time. This program also includes repair projects considered to be a major investment. (4) A separate DD 1391 is attached for all projects exceeding $50,000 per unit as adjusted by the area cost factor. |
