THREAD: My brother and I grew up in military housing. This issue is personal. There have been many reports of mold, lead, vermin, and more in privatized military housing. Today, I asked Defense officials about this very issue. 1/pic.twitter.com/5OXfBQX1Ue

I spent the last few years focusing on early childhood literacy. We know that kids under 6 who are exposed to things like lead and mold experience significant developmental delays. 3/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3758954/ …

This is a crisis that's harming families/children of those serving their country. I will continue to push Defense on how to address those who have already been affected by this epidemic and how we will work together to prevent it from happening again. 4/4https://www.reuters.com/investigates/section/usa-military/ …

Thank you so much for your dedication to military families. I’m glad you asked the question about children. It’s hard to know this answer when hospitals like Womack are refusing to do the testing for mold. This is something I do not understand.

What is the % of these issues per US military housing compared with housing in other countries where we maintain a military presence? As a taxpayer I am curious.

Congresswoman, please note that safety/sanitation issues also affect those in gov’t-owned housing (i.e. barracks & overseas housing). I was forced to live in a bldg condemned because it was “too unsafe to work in”. Plumbing so bad piss ran down the hall and under people’s doors.
