Mold is a frequent problem in homes, but in military housing, the stakes are higher.
As a member of the Military Housing Coalition, actively engaged in the advocacy for safe military housing, I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by service members and their families who often endure frequent relocations. The conditions of military housing units can vary, and mold, thriving in damp environments, becomes a pressing concern due to poor ventilation, long-term unresolved water intrusion, and improperly trained maintenance technicians.
The presence of mold in military homes poses significant health risks, with mold spores triggering respiratory issues, exacerbating allergies, and leading to other health concerns. For military families already navigating lives marked by challenges and uncertainties, the impact of mold on health adds an additional layer of stress.

Our commitment to raising awareness about the health risks associated with mold is unwavering at the Military Housing Coalition. We actively engage with military communities, providing resources for recognizing and reporting mold issues. Our tireless efforts are directed toward ensuring that military families have access to housing that prioritizes their well-being.
Prompt reporting of concerns to housing authorities is crucial for swift action. The Military Housing Coalition stands as a beacon of support for military families, emphasizing that military readiness starts at home. We believe in the power of advocacy for improved maintenance standards, increased inspection requirements, and timely responses to mold and water intrusion work orders. By working together and supporting organizations like the Military Housing Coalition, we can help ensure that these homes provide safe and healthy living environments.
