About

The 2024 Marine Corps Family Housing Tenant Satisfaction Survey and Barracks Resident Quality Assessment are an opportunity for Marines who live on base to share their opinions on their homes. Responses provide leadership with insight into resident satisfaction and may be used by Congress to provide oversight and accountability. You may learn more by reading Marine Corps Installation Command’s letters to Public-Private Venture (PPV) Housing, Family Housing, and Barracks residents.

Every response helps to strengthen the overall result of this effort by capturing the unique and varied experiences of tens of thousands of Marines stationed around the world.

“The survey results will help inform plans for near-term and future improvements to housing, resident services and community amenities.” - W. Jordan Gillis, assistant secretary of defense for sustainment and the Defense Department’s chief housing officer.
