10 United States Code, Section 1056 requires the provision of relocation assistance to military members and their families. Requirements include provision of information on housing costs/availability and home finding services. The Enterprise Military Housing System (eMH) includes a public web site (HOMES.mil) which collects information needed to facilitate military personnel searching for suitable community rental housing within close proximity to military installations.
US Code:
10 USC 2831
Name of Law: Military Family Housing Management Account
US Code:
10 USC 1056
Name of Law: Relocation assistance programs
The burden has increased since the previous approval due to the implementation of Login.gov for logging in. This removed the requirement for a 16 character password and has increased the use of HOMES.mil. The cost to maintain HOMES.mil has decreased as the application is in maintenance with no significant new development. HEAT was also added to the OMB package therefore increasing the respondent and burden hours.
