Privatized military housing operators play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of service members and their families. But these providers may face numerous challenges in maintaining properties across the US, including health and safety risks from environmental exposures like mold and asbestos, as well as potentially heightened risk of property damage from natural catastrophes.
Additionally, they may contend with financial vulnerabilities: more frequent outsized jury verdicts are arising from tenant legal actions and fluctuations in the base allowance for housing (BAH) set by the Department of Defense (DOD) as a result of changes in the housing market and economic conditions.
Moreover, these companies must comply with complex regulatory requirements from both the DOD and military branches. Cumulatively, these risks highlight the unique challenges military housing providers face in safely housing service members and their families. Traditional insurance coverage may fall short in addressing these specific risks, leaving companies exposed to potential claims and liabilities.
The military housing landscape comes with unique concerns and considerations that must be accounted for in risk management and insurance strategies. Marsh’s Real Estate Practice understands these nuances and has specialized experience helping providers address a wide range of challenges, including:
