Overview
Partnering with the Private Sector for Better Military Family Housing builds understanding between the public and private sectors about the keys to success. The program provides government professionals with the basic knowledge and skills critical to representing the service branches and the Department of Defense responsibly through privatization. All program participants will learn how to utilize asset management principles to achieve good outcomes over the long term.

Program Content
The program consists of three courses delivered in a series of two, one-week residential programs, supplemented by web-based instruction. The three courses of the program are:

Web instruction includes skill building in real estate concepts and calculations, historical review, case studies and problem sets.
