F 4b 3asuppiac of i Abib Triina pint a co Fly a it Iii i our up dot3if or in i inadequate housing a problem for gis overseas Survey says by Chuck Vinch Washington Bureau Washington Twenty one per cent of military families living off base have unacceptable housing with the problem being most acute overseas according to a Pentagon report. An estimated 48 percent of military families in the Pacific have unacceptable housing by far the most of any Region included in the report. Europe was Sec Ond with 28 percent White the figure for inc West coast and Hawaii is 27 percent. In inc United states the Besl regions for housing were the great lakes area the Midwest and inc Southwest with Fig ures for off base families that Are unacceptably housed ranging from 13 percent to is percent inc report said. When acceptable affordable housing is not available service members have few alternatives but to accept housing Hal is too expensive too far from work run Down or to be separated from their families the report said. In each Case inc effect on morale and Mission effectiveness is  information contained in inc report was based mainly on responses to he department of defense family housing Survey which has been routinely con ducted for several years and a special Survey of installation commanders. Congress ordered the Pentagon to draw up the report As part of the fiscal 1986 defense authorization act. It was sent to the House and Senate armed services committees earlier this month. The defense department Hopes to use this report along with another due in february that addresses on base housing shortages to increase congressional sup port for improving the military housing situation a Pentagon official said. The Pentagon defines unacceptable using Cost Quality and distance from work As criteria the report said. The maximum allowable housing Cost is the total housing allowance plus a maximum out of pocket amount ranging from 25 percent to 50 percent of a serv inc member s Basic allowance for quart ers depending on pay Grade. Those who can commute to work in less than an hour or live less than 3d Miles from work arc considered acceptably housed. Quality criteria Call for the housing to have hot and cold running water electricity a Shower or Bali a flush toilet a Healing system if the climate requires one and enough bedrooms so that no More than two family members have to share a room. In Europe the availability of accept Able housing varies greatly from country to country the report said. In England and Germany acceptable housing is generally available but there Ore problem areas such As Frankfurt where 41 per cent of families Are unacceptably housed. In Italy Spain and Greece inexpensive housing is available but often does not meet Quality standards the report said about 40 percent of off base Mili tary families in those countries Are unacceptably housed. In Italy much of the housing lacks essential utilities. In Naples with one of the highest concentrations of service members in Italy a High crime Rale and a poor transportation system add to the Burden for military families the report said. Quality is also the overriding concern of families in the Pacific. Acceptable off base housing is Gener ally not available throughout the re Gion the report said.

Electrical sewer and transportation systems Are unreliable at  in Korea most off base housing lacks Basic utilities non command sponsored families that Are ineligible for Over seas housing allowances often occupy housing that does t Meel minimal health standards the report said. They often live in Shack like dwellings with open sewers nearby and with no electric  off base housing in Japan is generally Small by . Standards and often lacks Central heal but otherwise meets Dod criteria for acceptability the report said. Cost and distance from work Aren t significant problems for overseas families living off base the report said. Personnel who separate from their families because of a Lack of housing Are also considered to be unacceptably housed the report said. In Europe Al most 6 percent of the respondents to the family housing Survey were in this category while in the Pacific the figure was 6.6 percent. Pentagon officials acknowledge that much of Fth criteria used was subjective and Hal the report was not All Encomb Passini. For example the report does t talk about people who choose to obtain hous ing Hal exceeds our Cost criteria As opposed to those who Are forced to do so because nothing else is available a Dod official said. But the report does give a Macro View of the situation he said. If so Many of our personnel Are not getting along on their current housing allow ances that tells us  .
