Picerne Military Housing:

Picerne Military Housing is a fully integrated development, construction and property management firm, founded in 1998 to provide dramatically improved housing for America ’s service members and their families.   Through the Army’s Residential Communities Initiative (RCI), Picerne Military Housing is partnered with the Army in the ownership of more than 17,000 homes at Forts Meade, Bragg, Polk, Rucker and Riley.   They are scheduled to assume responsibility for family housing at Fort Sill in November of 2008.   Through its integration of services, Picerne is uniquely able to focus on its single, core mission - Families First ™.   The Families First ™ approach of putting Army families’ needs first adds value in all aspects of privatized on-post family housing. Through its commitment to improving residential experiences for service members and families, Picerne Military Housing has become the Army’s premier housing partner. By continually nurturing that relationship, Picerne looks to broaden its opportunities to provide housing for our country’s military. Picerne Military Housing actively seeks to engage local and small businesses and subcontractors with the expertise and qualifications to help it meet the expectations and standards of the RCI program.

Long-term Vision:  

In August 2003, Picerne Military Housing partnered with the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg in its Residential Communities Initiative to develop, build, own, manage and maintain military family housing to enhance quality of life and increase retention.   As part of the Army's privatization program, Picerne will be Fort Bragg ’s housing partner for the next 46 years.   Picerne Military Housing currently has 164 employees working on Fort Bragg ’s family housing.   

By the end of the initial development period in 2013 , Picerne Military Housing will have built approximately 2,652 new homes, demolished 1,568 homes, and renovated 1,993 existing and historic homes at Fort Bragg .   All older homes will be renovated or replaced with larger homes and more modern amenities to create a more comfortable and enjoyable family environment.   Total development costs are forecast to approach $425 million by 2013.
