Sailors or their family members living in Private Partner Venture (PPV) housing have through April 30 to complete a special survey that allows them to share their overall experience with their current living conditions.

The PPV survey is an opportunity for Sailors to note their likes and dislikes with privatized family housing and any health or safety concerns they may have with their homes, community or services provided by privatized housing management companies.

The survey, which was launched April 2, is being conducted by CEL & Associates, an independent third party. It takes about 10 minutes to complete. Those who participate will remain anonymous unless they choose to identify themselves.

Taking the the survey is important to Navy leaders because information provided may help in the effort to address deficiencies that have come to light recently in some privatized housing.

Family members of Sailors living in privatized housing are allowed to take the survey, but only one survey is allowed per household.

All privatized housing residents, both families and unaccompanied Sailors, should have received their survey form via email by now from CEL & Associates. If they have not, they should contact CEL and provide their name and housing address so that CEL can ensure that they get the survey on time. The email address is: NavyPPVHousingSurvey@celassociates.com

Surveys are also underway for government leased or owned family or unaccompanied housing, but those residents have more time to complete those surveys.

A survey for Sailors living in government unaccompanied housing also began April 2 and runs through June 20. A survey for Sailors and families living in government-owned or government-leased housing was launched March 19, and runs through June 6.
