MacDill AFB Housing Claims: Advocacy for Those Who Serve
Military families have the right to expect safe air at home. Mission readiness is impossible when our families are sick. When privatized housing contractors ignore corporate obligations, our team steps in to help families secure the financial recovery they need to rebuild their health and their lives.
As part of our commitment to holding institutions responsible for toxic housing, Just Well Law, in partnership with Cooper & Kirk and McKee Law Group, represent current and former residents who were harmed by unsafe military housing conditions at MacDill Air Force Base.
Take the first step toward recovery today.
The Reality of the MacDill Housing Crisis
The crisis at MacDill Air Force Base centers on a systematic failure to provide the safe, habitable housing military families were promised. Our investigation found that private operators cut corners, ignored dangerous defects, and met residents with corporate indifference and willful blindness.
Instead of performing proper remediation, the housing providers failed to address severe water damage, structural defects, plumbing issues, and widespread HVAC contamination. When families reported these hazards, contractors routinely misled residents into believing adequate repairs had been made, or attempted to convince them that the dangers existed only in their imaginations. The human cost of this neglect includes documented immune dysfunction, deep neurological damage, and severe respiratory injury.
The Rights of Service Members
Families have the right to expect that landlords will provide safe and habitable homes on a U.S. military installation. The Michaels Organization chose to protect corporate profits and betrayed military families with empty maintenance track records that scrubbed out clear, historical warnings of biological pathogens.

Demanding Accountability for the MacDill AFB Housing Crisis
Private housing contractors cut corners, ignored clear maintenance rules, and left military families to live in contaminated homes.

We enforce safety rules to ensure that private developers respect the health of the communities entrusted to their care.
