IICRC Participates In Virtual Roundtable Regarding The State Of Military Housing

The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) was invited to and participated in a virtual roundtable to discuss the state of military housing. The event, hosted by the nonprofit, Better Homes for Heroes, convened a group of key stakeholders to try and help shed light on the pressing issues facing U.S. service members and their families in military housing.

Robbie Bradshaw, the IICRC’s Director of Government Relations, represented the organization at the roundtable, sharing insights and advocating for Congress and the Department of Defense to adopt IICRC’s accredited, voluntary consensus-based standards, including the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation. The IICRC has long been a leader in setting the standards of care for the cleaning, inspection, and restoration industries, which are crucial for ensuring safe and healthy living environments.

“Our military members and their families deserve the best possible living conditions, and the IICRC is committed to supporting efforts that enhance the quality of housing available to them,” Bradshaw said. “We believe that our standards can play a critical role in improving the habitability of military housing, and we were encouraged by the opportunity Better Homes for Heroes provided to engage Congressional and White House leaders on this important issue.”

The roundtable discussion highlighted various challenges in military housing, including mold, poor indoor air quality, and more. The IICRC’s participation underscores its dedication to addressing these challenges through the promotion of industry standards that can protect the health and safety of military families.

The insights shared during the roundtable will be reviewed by Congressional leaders, contributing to ongoing discussions about improving military housing policies and practices. The IICRC looks forward to continuing to collaborate with the U.S. Department of Defense, Congress, the White House, and other stakeholders to ensure that military housing meets the highest standards of habitability.

The IICRC is a global standards developing organization (SDO), accredited through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), as well as a credentialing body that certifies individuals in 20-plus categories within the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industries. With nearly 50,000 certified technicians and 6,000 Certified Firms in 40-plus countries, the IICRC, in partnership with regional and international trade associations, represents the entire industry. The IICRC does not own schools, employ instructors, produce training materials, or promote specific product brands, cleaning methods, or systems. For more information, visit www.iicrc.org.
