Legislation
Title 10 United States Code (USC) §1056, "Relocation Assistance Programs," February 1, 2010 This law requires the Secretary of Defense to establish relocation assistance programs within the service branches and Defense Agencies. It requires the Secretary of Defense to establish a position of Director of Relocation Assistance Programs and to issue regulations to govern and guide the implementation of relocation assistance programs within the Family Support functions of each service. The law requires implementation of an integrated automated information system to provide data on military communities worldwide. Program services are also required to address relocation-related issues, such as spouse employment, child care, financial stability, real estate assistance, sponsorship and personal adjustment to the new community.
Title 10 USC §1785, "Youth Sponsorship Programs," February 1, 2010 This legislation establishes authority for the Youth Sponsorship Program for military children, designed to assist them in integrating into their new communities when they move as a result of permanent change of station for military parents. Programs are to focus particularly on pre-teen and teen populations who seem to have the hardest time making social and emotional adjustments to relocation.
