PROJECT BACKGROUND: US Southern Command and US Army Garrison are developing courses of action to provide housing in the Miami/Doral area for service members assigned to US Southern Command. There is no military housing on the USAG-Miami/Doral cantonment and no space within the cantonment to construct military housing. The absence of housing on the installation presents a mission sustainment problem because it results in personnel being scattered across the city and local counties. In the event of an emergency, mission essential personnel may be unable to reach the SOUTHCOM's facility for mission requirements and operations due of road closures and traffic. Based on a 2018 Housing Market Analysis, by 2023, USAG Miami will be short 318 homes (172 Family Housing Units and 146 Unaccompanied Housing Units). In accordance with current Army guidance, this action would construct enough units to address 90 percent of the Family Housing shortfall of 155 units and approximately 95 percent of the Unaccompanied Housing shortfall of 140 units.
