15 JBLM Families Sue Over Base's Living Conditions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

LAKEWOOD, WA — 51 plaintiffs from 15 military families who lived on Joint Base Lewis-McChord between 2016 and 2020 have filed a lawsuit against Lincoln Military Housing, according to a new report from the News Tribune.

As the Tribune explains, the families allege that Lincoln mismanaged their properties, causing leaks which pooled and allowed mold to fester in their homes. That mold reportedly caused family members to suffer a number of adverse symptoms, from watery eyes and fatigue to headaches and static shock.

The families are asking from Lincoln to cover any future medical expenses, and lost wages, among other compensation, the Tribune reported.

Both JBLM and Lincoln Military Housing have said they are aware of the lawsuit. The trial date has been set for May 2022.

1. Let me guess: Lincoln Military Housing is a private, for-profit contractor.

2. Of course.

The military contracted out base housing especially for newer construction. Don't know about existing housing for senior officers though.
