| Public/Private Venture (PPV) Housing |
On February 1, 2005, Navy Family Housing in the Northwest became privatized, with the exception of Naval Base Kitsap's Jackson Park. The Navy has formed partnerships with Forest City Military Communities and Carroll's Creek Landing to provide this service.
Forest City Military Communities offers housing throughout Navy Region Northwest. Carroll's Creek Landing provides housing only at Naval Station Everett.
Privatization is a creative and effective solution mandated by congress for all Department of Defense (DoD) housing and is being phased in throughout the United States. Privatization provides a quicker solution for renovating and replacing aging Military Family Housing.

| How PPV Housing Works |
PPV housing requires you to sign a lease for a minimum of six months. Your rent and utilities are equal to the amount you receive for Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). With PPV housing, you receive BAH as a part of your paycheck. Your rent is then paid by allotment to the PPV partner you are renting with.
When the time comes for you to move out, refer to your PPV partner community handbook for a list of cleaning requirements.
If neighborhood or landlord/tenant issues should arise, remember that your local Navy Housing Service Center is available to give assistance to PPV residents.

| Navy Resident Energy Conservation Program (RECP) |
Coming in April 2013...
Research shows that residents use 20+% less in utilities when they are directly responsible for utility payments. The RECP helps to bring PPV utility usage in line with usage in private communities, and results in savings that will be reinvested to improve PPV community quality of life.
The RECP establishes like type groups of housing and measures the average usage for each like type group every month. A 10% buffer is then added above and below the average to create a Normal Usage Band. Residents will receive monthly statements on how their usage compares to the Normal Usage Band. Those using more than the Normal Usage Band pay for the excess and those using less than the Normal Usage Band will receive a rebate or credit for the difference between the Normal Usage Band and their actual usage.
