“This initiative will provide outstanding quality of life for some of our larger military families,” said Col. James H. B. Peay IV, United States Army Garrison Fort Sill commander. “In addition, it’s a model of excellence in repurposing existing military resources to accommodate current service member needs.”

Corvias is a recipient of the 2021 National SatisFacts Resident Satisfaction Company Award for excellent resident service efforts and property management for military housing. With an occupancy rate consistently over 96% for the 1,808 available homes in their Fort Sill inventory, Corvias has completed more than 97% of the 5,000+ work orders on time and received a score of 4.54 out of 5 for customer service in the past quarter.

“The Corvias team comes together every single day to help military families make military installations such as Fort Sill their home,” said Pete Sims, managing director at Corvias, a long-term solutions and management partner to the U.S. military. “We are committed to supporting the resilience of the Army’s infrastructure with capital improvements that accommodate the needs of today’s military families in parallel with the mission requirements of the Department of Defense.”

“Moving is never easy but knowing we would be the first in this five-bedroom home made this PCS very exciting,” said Specialist Timothy Harper. “I know we will be very happy here,” Desiree, his wife, continued. “The layout of the home perfectly balances our much-needed individual space with areas for family time.”

Corvias’ 50-year partnership with Fort Sill is part of the MHPI, which leverages private-sector capital and expertise to reverse the military’s housing shortage. This is done by expanding and modernizing housing with predictable, stable, long-term operating costs and performance.
